Formative Evaluator's Report: Bridging the Gap, Phase II (Appendices)
Project Co–ordinator:
  • Not much involvement with the provincial people (Ina and Michelle)
  • PC is excellent. She has done everything she has asked her to do for her.
  • The co–ordinator is top notch. They have had some disputes that have been resolved.
  • PC has been great. She is very demanding which sometimes works well and sometimes I feel the pressure . She didn't always appreciate that my first priority was the classroom, then preparing for the next day, and then to look at emails and her requests for info. But this is minor in the overall picture.
  • I could not have been able to do the co-ordination in addition to the instruction. There is no designed curriculum so that takes up all your time. I don't know where I would begin to find the time to do what the PC has done in addition to instructing.
  • If it wasn't for the PC – I'm not sure what we would do. She is excellent to deal with.
  • Great – very responsive and she has been right there and on the ball all the time. Anything he asked for she has provided.
  • She was very helpful. We had our moments over the year over different issues.
  • PC is nice to work with.
  • The PC added to the AI's stress and was the cause for a lot of it. She was treated like a 4 year old and not a 44 year old. Our co–ordinator was very controlling. Bossy. If one of our students said they weren't in – she treated them like a 4 year old.
  • I think I'd do it again. But, if the same PC were going to be there, I wouldn't even apply for the position.
  • The PC is out of this world for sure. You could never ask for a better co–ordinator.
  • With the type of group, I need the co–ordinator. I just don't have the time to be doing what she has done. I needed someone to qualify/enforce my dealings with the group. This group needed a co–ordinator and I needed a co–ordinator!
Employment Partner
  • The employment partner has been good – provided for their comfort and lets them use a lot of the equipment.
  • Really cooperative. They have listened to any suggestions he has made and have integrated him into the staff.
  • Union – the workers have taken students under their wings and there have been no issues so far.
  • The Employment Partner is good – a very busy man. He is very committed. He works well with the participants. They seem to like him and he has a lot of patience. All three seem to be good. Easy to show them what to do and he is a good trainer.
  • Employment partner was good: I had a good relationship with them. It would have helped if they were more organized, but they are still so new. They couldn't plan things out much in advance due to their lack of experience. They were very flexible and easy to get along with.
