Mitchell did his professional semester II practicum in my grade 6 class at the Cardston Junior High School. During his practicum Mitchell taught Social Studies 6, Literacy, and Art 6. Mitchell was very well prepared for his practicum, and all of his daily lessons. He created an excellent Social Studies unit on the democracy of Ancient Athens that incorporated a variety of assessments and strategies. He was very knowledgeable of the subject matter he was teaching, and was able to successfully adapt his lessons for the unique learning needs of over eighty students. Mitchell has a passion for teaching, and during his time at our school he worked with other staff members and myself to leam new teaching strategies and ways of addressing different learning needs. He demonstrated a strong will to utilize any feedback that | gave him and use this in his teaching One of Mitchell's greatest strengths is the relationship he has with the students he teaches. He treats all students with respect, caring and dignity. The students in turn respect him, and are eager to meet his high expectations. | believe Mitchell fulfils all of the knowledge, skills and aptitudes of a beginning teacher. His outstanding work during his practicum at our schoo! will help prepare him for future teaching positions.
