I was doing the participatory evaluations for community close-outs and my oh my, I think I would spend hour trying to ask one single question. Finally, towards the end of the evaluation (I did all of mine as one-on-one interviews) I would ask, and do you have any specific recommendations, suggestions or concerns for potential future years?
The answer:
- I think that they had a really hard time communicating.
- I had a lot of trouble understanding them, more often than not, I had absolutely no idea what they were trying to tell me.
- I think that in future years their Spanish should be better, the students would just stare at them.
- They should teach us English, and we will teach them Spanish.
