As the semester comes crashing to an end, you may be wrapping up programs and events with student leader teams. I found this thoughtful list of questions from Tim Milburn over at studentlinc. This semester, instead of asking your student leaders to evaluate the experience or program, ask them to complete a self-assessment. My peer mentors are hired in the fall for a calendar year term of service, so I may have them complete the questions now and once again in December after their fall experience.

1. What did I learn as a student leader?
2. What will I need to remember from my student leadership year?
3. Which interactions with others taught me the most about how to work with people?
4. What do I know now that I didn’t know a year ago?
5. What am I better at as a result of this student leadership experience?

6. How would I describe my student leadership experience in 100 words?
7. How am I better prepared for the next chapter in my story?
8. What would I have done differently as a student leader?
9. If I had one hour with a group of newly elected student leaders, what would I want to talk to them about?
10. What mistakes did I make this year and what did I learn from them?

11. What do I hope to be remembered for as a student leader?
12. How could I have done better as a student leader?

Completing a self-assessment allows student leaders to depart the experience with a greater context for their contributions and learning. Over at studentlinc, Tim has shared a pdf of these questions and other great student leader information.

Do you have student leader evaluation or assessment ideas to share?
