NOTE: This is not a letter of reference and will not be distributed by the WERKLUND SCHOOL OF EDUCATION to potential employers,
however potential employers may ask for this assessment from the student directly.
The purpose of this eight-week field experience is to focus on their ability to extend and deepen their understanding classroom learning as they
move towards meeting the requirements of interim certification. Upon successful completion of this Field Experience, Student Teachers are
prepared to assume the full pedagogical and professional responsibilities of a practicing teacher. Under the guidance of a Partner Teacher, the
Student Teacher has planned and assumed responsibility for 80%-100% of classroom teaching responsibilities in his/her placement classroom.
The following Narrative Assessment should address the Student Teacher’s participation in the course as a whole as well as their growth and
readiness in relation to the TQS outcomes. Finally, an assessment of the Student Teacher’s readiness to take on the role of teacher, including
evidence of professionalism and collegiality, should be described.

Shiva Goli is a thoughtful, creative teacher who comes with years of experience working with students in the
classroom. She prepared unit plans that reflected her knowledge of the Program of Studies and how to
weave the concepts into lesson plans that include formative assessments leading to mastery.
Ms. Goli’s lessons are carefully crafted with manipulatives, visuals, and demonstrations to bring the lesson
to life. She has developed time management over the semester, adding in time for transitions and clean-up,
so that her lessons are smoothly run and finish with enough time for closure. She is cognizant of her
students with special needs and plans for them. She also taught in an open concept school where the class
sizes were large (two teachers per class), so her class management skills have strengthened over the
practicum, as well.
Professionally, Ms. Goli is collegial, collaborative, and openly engages in conversations about strengthening
her skills. She shares what she has learned and considers ideas for improvement. In this way, she will
continue to grow as an educator and demonstrates the traits of a life-long learner.
