Emily's plan always align exactly with the curriculum and address the required objectives. At times, her timing was off,

Q19: Please comment on the teacher candidate's performance in the area of assessment of and for student
learning.
Emily was thorough in collecting student data after teaching lessons and often reviewed that data, but the feedback to
the students was not always immediate. Students were assessed frequently and when working in small group, the
feedback was frequent and constructive.

Superior

Q21: Please comment on the teacher candidate's overall effectiveness in creating an environment conducive
to learning.
Emily was very engaged with the students and was aware of their needs, helping them as necessary. While Emily set
clear expectations for the classroom, the follow through sometimes was lacking as far as consequences go. Emily was
quick to redirect, but if the redirection was not efficient, Emily sometimes struggled with where to go next. This was
something we were working on towards the end of her student teaching and I am sure it will continue to develop as she
gains more experience. The students respected her and listened, but certain students needed more than just
redirection.

appropriately and was receptive to all ideas given. Her openness to growth and feedback allowed her to grow
exponentially as a teacher, without feeling defensive. She interacted with other school personnel in a professional
manner and took on all responsibilities as a teacher, without hesitation or needing to be told. Her initiative as a student
teacher was exemplary.

When working in reading comprehension, Emily set clear goals for the students each week and encouraged them to
continue to work hard to meet their goals. As this was so early in the year, initial goals were still being set, so it was
hard to monitor their growth and we were still gathering baseline data.
