Evaluator Feedback

How would you describe the
student's skills & qualitative
strengths?
Haley was a great addition to our class. She is very caring and
patient with our special needs students. She did not hesitate to
jump in and assist with any situation. She helped organize a
craft for our students for Remembrance Day and was always
looking for fun ways to engage our students. Haley would work
one-on-one with students helping them with literacy and
numeracy skills. Haley even took it upon herself to learn Braille
on her own time.
She was a huge help in organizing my cupboards and craft
space, making sure things stayed tidy.
One student enjoyed asking her to accompany him outside to
recess and Haley never hesitated to help. Haley even offered
to come in on her days off when she was able to assist with
special activities that were happening in the school.

Haley did well working with our students and they enjoyed
What would be your further
having her in our class. She is still soft-spoken and seems
recommendations and area(s) of
unsure of her capabilities. She just needs to build her
growth for this student? (technical
confidence and believe in herself. With her caring demeanour,
or soft skills)
she is well suited to working with students with special needs.
