Teacher Recommendation vs. Teacher Evaluation

What is the difference between a teacher recommendation and a teacher evaluation?

Anyone?

Unless there is a specific program that differentiates the 2, in general, the terms are used interchangeably. The Common App labels the form as “Teacher Evaluation” but colloquial usage is to call it a rec.

What’s the context for this question? Typically a recommendation is just that: a teacher recommends you for a college or program. An evaluation is more like, well, a report card, stating how well you did in his or her class.

Aren’t you a freshman? What are these teacher recommendations/evaluations for – you are not applying to colleges yet.

@skieurope Thank you!

@happy1 I’m not getting recommendations yet. I am just curious to know the difference.
