Additional Evaluator Notes (please attach more pages, as necessary):

Ms.
Teitelbaum,

Thank you for welcoming me into your class on 1/17/19. Your classroom had a very positive tone. Students
were very honest and reflective about the club conversations from the previous day. This indicates that
students feel safe expressing themselves in your room. You modeled a discussion, how to grow an idea from
it,
and
provided
students
with
discussion
prompts.

Throughout your discussions, there were so many students who wanted to share. Consider removing
yourself form the conversation when it is appropriate to do so, and either provide students with an opportunity
to turn and talk or allow them to control the discussion by calling on their peers. This will support their growth
as learners to prepare them for middle school, and will support your professional growth in 3b: Using
questioning
and
discussion
techniques.

Thank
you
for
all
that
you
do
for
our
school
community,

Ms. Remsen
