The Teacher Candidate sets and supports expectations positively for each student’s success. Examples include communicating whole class expectations
consistently and communicating instructional outcomes. Before the lesson, Carman verbalizes and posts learning outcomes. During the lesson, she “jumped back”
or referred to outcomes listed as: “When Venn diagrams are used to show the relationship between 2D shapes. I can show my understanding with a diagram.”
Excellent lesson plans. Great use of “I can statements” such as:
I can make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. <I can solve problems without giving up.>
I can construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. <I can explain my thinking and try to understand others.>
I can model mathematics using the Venn Diagram. <I can show my work in many ways.>
I can use appropriate tools strategically. <I can use math tool and explain why I used them.>
I can attend to precision. <I can work carefully and check my work.>
I can look for and make use of structure. <I can use what I know to solve new problems.>

The Teacher Candidate creates a safe learning environment that promotes respect and positivity. She models listening and respects student’s opinions, ideas, and
concerns. For example, students appeared to feel safe to share in the classroom. They raised their hands to speak and, when called upon, answered and
commented respectfully.
For next time: To exercise fairness to all students, call on students and allow students to share evenly from each group, from all parts of the classroom, being
mindful of gender equality and special needs students.

The Teacher Candidate shows a desire for continual improvement in her professional practice. With the help of her Cooperating Teacher, she analyzes strengths
and weaknesses of lesson planning and delivery regularly, making necessary adjustments. During professional development days, she learns and shares with her
grade-level team. Carman seeks out professional feedback and learning opportunities. After teaching a lesson, she reflects on ways to improve.
Tip: A great way to reflect on your effectiveness is to watch videos of yourself teaching. It provides you with another perspective.

The Teacher Candidate encourages active inquiry by giving ample wait time for all learners to comprehend questions and answers and asking open-ended and
higher-order thinking questions throughout instruction and varying teaching styles. I observed many best practices. When a student gave an answer, Carman did
not repeat their answer but moved on to the next question or prompt. This is an effective way to respect student voice. It encourages students to listen to other
students. Students can be teachers. Knowledge does not have to all come from an adult teacher.
