Evaluation

How can you directly contribute to Nebraska FPS? Please consider becoming an evaluator. With more volunteers, each individual will have a lighter workload, and evaluations can be returned to students at a faster rate. Evaluators are compensated for their work, and can – many times – evaluate online in the comfort of your own home!

What is required of an FPS evaluator?

• Knowledge of the FPS process and evaluation scoring guidelines

• Attendance at an evaluator training – for new evaluators

• Willingness to give feedback and suggestions

• A positive attitude

• Internet access

• Microsoft Excel for evaluation

When will evaluation take place?

• Mid-October-  Practice Problem #1 (Tourism)

As an evaluator, you provide valuable feedback and learning opportunities for the students and coaches involved in the Nebraska Future Problem Solving program! Contact Evaluation Director, Jessica, if you are interested in evaluating for the current school year. She will be in touch with you about the fall training. Plan on putting the October, December, March, and April dates on your calendar now. We look forward to working with you!
