Q13 Please comment on the teacher candidate's overall performance in the area of professional knowledge.
Anna has a basic understanding of the grade-level content and how it should be taught. During my observations, students were involved
in meaningful learning activities. Anna has been working from collaboratively developed ideas based on grade-level team planning so
she is guided by the team as far as content and pacing of instruction.
Q14 Using the following scale, please rate the teacher candidate's performance in each of the areas below.
Q15 Please comment on the teacher candidate's overall effectiveness of instructional planning.
Anna recently took on the full task of developing lesson plans for all subjects. Anna is fully capable of developing quality lesson plans.
She will continue to develop in getting her plans completed and into her cooperating teacher's hands in a timely manner so that Ms.
Dray may review and approve the lesson well before the day of instruction. Beginning this week, Anna will also email her week's lesson
plans to me and copy Ms. Dray on the email the Friday prior to the week of instruction. This will ensure Anna is fully prepared for
instruction and has time to deal with contingencies that may arise throughout the week.

Q16 Using the following scale, please rate the teacher candidate's performance in each of the areas below.
Q17 Please comment on the teacher candidate's overall effectiveness of instructional delivery.
Anna implemented multiple learning activities that were well-suited for the age group. These activities were selected by the grade-level
team and Anna implemented the activities. Each day, Anna teaches the same lesson twice in one day due to the kindergarten schedule,
giving her the opportunity to make adjustments in instruction the second time through. During my most recent observation, Anna guided
children through each activity and children followed along with instruction. Anna could improve her instruction by providing an effective
anticipatory set and closure to each lesson. Doing so will help the students understand why they are doing what they are doing, will help
them make better connections to the content, and will reinforce learning goals. Anna continues to work on thinking on her feet and
making instructional adjustments in the moment, without excessive pauses for rethinking her strategies. These types of pauses allow
children to lose focus and move off task (wiggling, touching their neighbor, talking, etc.). This group was responsive and compliant when
redirected back to Anna's instruction - It is just better not to lose them in the first place. A less compliant group of children may present
challenges for her. Anna was observed, at times, focusing on individual or small groups of students to the exclusion of the other children
in the classroom. Anna will continue to work on positioning in the classroom so that she has sight of all children at all times. She will also
continue to work on using an authoritative tone, when needed, to redirect students from across the room.
Q18 Using the following scale, please rate the teacher candidate's performance in each of the areas below.
Q19 Please comment on the teacher candidate's performance in the area of assessment of and for student learning.
Anna uses the assessment strategies selected by the collaborative planning team. This gives her a good model to follow. Her
cooperating teacher shared that she is doing well keeping running records. Anna may be using student learning data to plan instruction.
However, without being able to review lesson plans (not available during the last observation), it is impossible to assess the first item in
this category. I have observed only brief response feedback to children (correct, incorrect, you did not follow directions). Feedback
should move toward a quality dialogue between teacher and student.

Q20 Using the following scale, please rate the teacher candidate's performance in each of the areas below.
Q21 Please comment on the teacher candidate's overall effectiveness in creating an environment conducive to
learning.
Anna vacillates in the area of classroom management. She has shown improvement and is practicing the use of positive phrases to
redirect the children. Anna is kind to the children, overall.
Anna's instruction is more formulaic rather than flowing naturally, at this point. During both observations, Anna's posed few questions to
the students and therefore feedback was brief. Observed instruction has consisted of Anna modeling or guiding students through an
activity and the students following along (I do, you do). Anna is working toward effectively managing a whole group of children. She
does her best when managing a small group of children.
Q22 Using the following scale, please rate the teacher candidate's performance in each of the areas below.
Q23 Please comment on the teacher candidate's professionalism throughout the period of observation.
Anna struggles to meet the demands of teaching in regards to the workload. We recently met to discuss the need to have lesson plans
and other associated materials prepared and submitted in a timely manner. Anna will continue to improve in the area of communication
and collaboration with her cooperating teacher and university supervisor. Anna is learning that her decisions, no matter how small, are a
reflection on her overall judgement in being capable of making appropriate decisions for herself and her classroom. Anna has shown
some improvement in her instructional delivery and behavioral management phrasing.

Q25 Please comment on the students academic progress throughout the period of observation.
Anna is practicing keeping anecdotal notes and running records for reading. She has not yet provided evidence that achievement goals
have been met for this group of children. She should be prepared to provide evidence of student growth prior to the final evaluation.
