 COMMENTS: Planning, Instruction, Assessment of Student Understanding

Miss Madigan:

It’s impressive to ‘see’ you couple a structured state-wide curriculum (e math instruction) with self-developed
projects. This is ‘next level’ lesson planning that shows a wonderful maturity as a mathematics educator.
Your daily assessment measures are also strategies that exhibit veteran instructional approaches. Following
my round table discussion with Ms. Schrader, she offered the following accolades:

‘Madigan is by far the most creative and prepared student teacher I have had over the last two decades. She
has an amazing career ahead of her.”

It's been a privilege to watch you grow and get better at your chosen craft over the last few years. In
particular, this final placement has showcased your expanding instructional/mathematical skill set. You have
an amazing career ahead of you that will influence generations of students. I suspect that you will also have
opportunities to take the lead as an administrator and instructional leader. Thank you for choosing Fredonia –
we hope that it’s been transformational and allowed you to pursue your passion.

FINAL COMMENTS

General Commendations Focus Areas

 Thanks for making wonderful and positive
connections with your CVCS students.
 How ‘cool’ is to hear that students want to ‘stay’
and work on additional math projects that are not
even in their class!
 Best of luck as you begin your graduate studies
and pursue your Master’s Degree.
 Be sure to enjoy your final few days with your
students – it’s been an outstanding placement for
you.
