COMMENTS:

The students really enjoyed the variety of tasks presented in Teagan's various lessons. This helped to keep
them engaged. I would encourage Teagan to keep trying out different strategies to see what works best for her
and the students, and to see what doesn't work. Sometimes the lessons that don't work the way that you think
that they should offer the greatest insights. Don't be afraid to assign homework occasionally. Students in junior
high need the opportunity to increase their stamina for studying and review for success in higher grades.

students (especially those that might be struggling) for explanations of what was covered.

COMMENTS:
Teagan helped out with after school Badminton for grade 7 students while she was here. That was a big help to the
coordinating teacher. I would encourage Teagan to "dress the part" as part of the school team. We are fairly
informal as a staff, but are still expected to "look like teachers". For the majority of days this was achieved. Teagan
should keep writing down everything that is expected. It's a great way to keep track of everything that you have to
balance as a teacher.

SUMMARY Additional comments next page à

Areas for further growth:
Teagan should spend some time looking at different strategies for differentiating her lessons for the variety of
students in her class. Reach out to other teachers teaching similar students to see what they have tried and what
works for them. Being willing to try a variety of teaching strategies in general will often help the teacher realize
what works and what doesn't. Make an organization plan for yourself to keep track of expectations of you by
administration and teacher associates as well as keeping track of your expectations of students.

Overall comments (Strongest aspects of student’s performance):

Teagan shows a great deal of poise and confidence when leading a classroom. She will often say how nervous
she is before a lesson or beginning something new, but it rarely shows in her lessons. I think that says a lot about
her preparations going into the lesson. Teagan is willing to help out with tasks in the school outside of teaching
which further assisted her in building relationships with students. Teagan has a great deal of empathy for students
and picks up when they are feeling uncomfortable or nervous. On multiple occasions she was able to adjust how
she was presenting the information to accommodate them.
