Evaluating your teaching

Josh Hunt has a good article about evaluating your teaching and thinking through improvement opportunities. Here are the key questions:

Passion. Did you present the truth with some conviction?
Practical. Did you give specific application that can be applied to life this week? Did you teach for a verdict?
Humor. Were there points when the group laughed together?
Personal. Did you touch them where they live? Were you open about where you are at?
Involvement. Was everyone interested and with you? Did you have a good number of people participate in the discussion?
Preparation. Were you well prepared enough to present the lesson with confidence?
Background. Did you bring some interesting background not evident from the casual reading of the text.
Introduction. Did you grab their attention at the first?
Inspiration. Did you attempt to inspire them to do what you wanted them to do?
Focus. Did you have one or two "big ideas" that you attempted to drive home throughout the lesson?
