Comments:
Danielle is a reflective individual. She takes the time to look back at each lesson and think critically
about how things unfolded. Best of all, she uses the information she gains through this process to
improve her lessons and future plans. She is receptive to, even inviting of, suggestions as to changes
she can make to her teaching practices.
