"Emerson is dedicated to becoming a strong and effective teacher. However, he is encouraged to dedicate the time to fully develop effective lessons. In the lesson observed, Emerson had an excellent
idea, but some of the necessary details weren't evident. As a result, the lesson wasn't as impactful as it could have been.
"Emerson's Mentor Teacher commented that Emerson is not always as prepared as he could be. She shared that Emerson has good ideas regarding learning activities, but he is, at times, not fully
prepared. This results in less effective lessons.
