    • Demonstration of Education Impact
      • review of any available quantitative or qualitative data. EOs should interpret and provide useful context for data, including possible mitigating factors for low learner evaluation scores, and critical feedback in comments. Any coaching plans and subsequent improvement should also be addressed.
