Commitment to the Profession

Comments:
- Ms Jadine asserted that Mariam has demonstrated exemplary professionalism, especially in the past week.

Planning for Learning

Comments:
- Excellent learning activities: students are fully engaged in their work!
- Mariam has planned plenty of extension activities for students who finish early. A large number of students
benefited from these 😊
- The entire lesson was very well planned.
- Excellent plenary: very well planned and VERY, VERY well delivered!!!!
- Please try to submit a more detailed lesson plan next time. For example: you state that students will “complete
the activities” but you did NOT describe the activities in enough detail. Please correct this next time.

Managing Learning
Comments:
- Mariam begins the lesson very enthusiastically with a loud voice and a smile.
- Her enthusiasm and positive mood persisted throughout the lesson 😊
- Mariam can also be quite firm with the students, when necessary.
- Mariam adequately disciplines a student who unjustifiably took a pair of scissors – well done! She also makes
one student apologize to another. Well handled.
(Mariam’s eyes are everywhere – as they should be!!)
- Mariam has an excellent demeanour with students (some are quite challenging to deal with!): she is very firm
when she needs to be, but remains positive and encouraging most of the time.
- Mariam is constantly managing the time (she often checks the clock!)😊
- Mariam triggers clean up time: she simply makes excellent use of her voice and body language to do this.

Implementing Learning
Comment:
- Very clear instructions are given to students, for each activity in each group: this is done swiftly and effectively.
- Students are working very happily during the student centered activity.
- Students are highly – HIGHLY – engaged in the tasks!!! They are very focussed on their work.
- Mariam is in control of the entire class.
- Her thorough planning has served her well, as she quickly identifies student needs (e.g. students who have
finished) and is able to immediately cater to these needs
- Mariam has promised marshmallows! And she uses this ‘promise’ to settle students during the plenary 😊
- Mariam calls out different student names and solicits individual responses – super 😊
- Students respond soooo enthusiastically to Mariam’s plenary
- Mariam has developed a very good rapport with her students 😊😊😊

Assessment See back

Comments:
 - Please add your lesson plan: “I will assess students by questioning them and by observing them during the
learning activities”

Reflection on Practice
Comments:

- Mariam was able to reflect on today’s lesson and to set a new goal for the near future:
She wants to plan more creative activities next time…. I think this is a great goal, and I am looking forward to
seeing these activities very soon!

Well done Mariam! Please keep up your efforts 😊

Action Plan:

Please correct a few erroneous sentences (spoken English) used during the lesson:

1- This is the words that not start with ‘H’ (say instead “These are the words that DO NOT start with H”)

2- Is it start with the letter H or not? (say instead “Does it start with the letter H or not?”)
