Kelsey, as do many educators, has challenging students in her classroom. Kelsey maintains a calm, supportive
approach to student behavior, redirecting students as needed. She frequently provides positive feedback to students
and encourages student involvement from all.

Kelsey began her lesson by reminding students of the story they read the previous day including new vocabulary.
She summarized the characters and showed an illustration to begin student thinking. Using her white board, Kelsey

I would encourage Kelsey to continue to develop engagement strategies to ensure all students are learning which
may help to address some of the behavior issues in the classroom.

her way to becoming an exceptional teacher!
