My student teacher always related the class material to things we saw in everyday life.

Mr. B connected things with present day events and even things we enjoyed to help us to understand and learn
the material. He also let us get to know his interests which helped us connect with him a little more, which made
us more receptive to what we were learning.
He, again, took different approaches so we didn’t just do the same things all the time. He also made everyone
involved within the class and if you where having trouble with something, he would make sure to explain it to you
so you would understand.

Q8 - What is something your student teacher could improve?

What is something your student teacher could improve?

he could give use a little more time in between the lessons like a day or two to do something ells fun or an activity
or something and then get to the next lesson.
My student teacher usually calls on random students which can be a little annoying if you do not understand and
get called on when you do not know the answer. I think teachers should only call on people who have their hands
up.
Mr. B could improve
nothing.
He could be more specific
He could improve on making stuff less complicated.
He could give out a bit less work.
I think he could improve on giving us tests, he gave us the review sheet a day before the test so we didn't really
have enough time to learn the material \as well as we could have.
nothing
He could show more pictures and give us examples for different topics.
Less time just silently working
Once he had us guess what happened and it didn't really work, since then he has improved
Make more games to tie the unit
Nothing.
He could improve his test making skills because a lot of people in my class and team had to come into class on
their own time since it took too long.
I thought he was a really good teacher and was well shaped in all he taught.
Make more projects.
nothing i think he did a perfect job.
No not really he's a nice teacher and he does his job well, so what really could he improve i don't know but what i
do know is he will like being a teacher.
Helping us prepare for the test more.
He could improve on spacing the work out he gave us.
Mr. Buttimer could improve by asking easier questions in class and helping us when we don't understand a little
more.
He could do a better job of keeping the class on track and not letting us get distracted.
My student teacher could improve upon letting us do more partner work because I tend to do better when I can
study or work with a partner because both of our ideas being imputed together makes a stronger output.
My student teacher could improve on calling on random people who seem confused or don’t quite know the
answer. He could call on people with their hands raised, then explain the question more.
Change up the projects or ask what the students like to do.
...
My student teacher could improve on talking louder.
My student teacher gave out a lot of paperwork and he didn’t prepare us enough for our test. All the paperwork
that we had to fill in didn’t help me study for the test it made me feel stressed. If he gave us only a couple of
worksheets and a better review sheet, that would help me a lot.
He could call on the people that were actually raising their hand. He called on people who clearly didn't know that
answer vs. the people who did.
NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [(:')]
he was great
Give less work and make the work less hard.
My student teacher could stay more on track. He could also give less of his opinion during class because it took up
time.
nothing really
Something our teacher could improve on is giving just a little less work.
Q9 - What is one piece
of advice you have for your student teacher when they have their own class?

What is one piece

of advice you have for your student teacher when they have their own class?
to make the classes a little more fun and have fun stuff incorporate in the lesson that is being taught. .
My student teacher should keep doing exactly what he did when he taught us, because I feel as if our normal
teacher was still there, and that we didn't have a student teacher, because Mr. Buttimer was a natural at how he
was teaching.
keep your homework load the same. It wasn't overpowering yet there was still a little. Even with as little
homework as we had, we didn't forget what we had learned. And stay excited about the things you're teaching. It
made learning a little better.
make sure that you always keep in mind that students have lifes outside of school, so sometimes using different
approaches and making class more exciting would help us learn better than having homework everynight
Just be yourself :)
Be patient with the kids and good luck.
I think he should give out a bit less work and continue to do a good job explaining things clearly so everybody can
understand it.
To be as enthusiastic as he was with us with his own class and to give students sheets to study from.
Always have fun when doing your job it makes it a lot less boring and they will want to learn.
If you do a mock trial, give the students more time for preparation.
Keep things interesting and relevant, also don't pace it makes us nervous.
Use things relevant to the students to peak their interest, also stop pacing its weird.
One piece of advice to give my student teacher is always have fun
Proceed what you are doing.
To be friends with the kids because even if you are roasting them you overall make people feel comfortable and
make everyone laugh and overall like your class.
Get to know each and everyone of your students and make sure both you and your students have as much fun
while teaching/learning as possible.
keep up the great work.
i say don't give up.
Be nice especially to the kids in the back of the class or the kids having trouble, but don't push them because they
might not understand and lash out. Also don't give up on what you like because if you give up then all those years
would have been for nothing.
to keep being fun and caring
To stay laid back and keep doing what your doing
Mr. Buttimer should have patience with his students more in the future.
Don't be afraid to enforce the rules.
Make sure that you have fun with your class! They will be more intrigued if you have fun! Be sarcastic and funny
while teaching your lessons.
I would say to really encourage the class to participate, and if no one has their hand up to answer then maybe they
are confused so he should explain the question more.
Be confident and do what he does best.
Well, most kids would probably say, "What? You're insane!" or things like that. but I honestly think you should give
out more homework to help the students understand more of what is going on in the class.

But keep your sense of humor. Students love a good funny teacher.
One piece of advice for Mr. Buttmier should play more of a more fun class.
Make sure to do activities that students would want to participate in. Also to be more assertive with your rules
when teaching. I dislike when students go into other conversations when I am trying to learn. If you tell them to be
quiet then they would treat you more like the teacher.
He should give a little more of a break between projects, tests, and lessons. We would be working on a project,
and then the next day when it was due we would start something completely new and just as hard.
"You did great with me, So do a-some for them!"
keep doing you!
Don't give so much work and make it less hard.
One price of advice id give my student teacher would be to more understanding and explain things more in to
detail
stay awesoem
Make the classes fun for everyone.
make it fun and interesting
