Additional Evaluator Notes (please attach more pages, as necessary):

1. You have done a great job setting a positive and structured tone in this self-contained class. Students

1. When you showed the video on the board up front, all students had their Chromebooks open. While many
of them were watching the video, it is good practice to have the students close their Chromebooks when not
using them. Especially for students who easily loose focus, the lure of the computer could be distracting to

2. When a student asked the question regarding the opening, you went back to the slide that gave opening
examples. This was a missed opportunity to foster student discussion. Before answering a question, call on
students of the class to answer. This will require students to recall information, engage with eachother, and
serve as an opportunity for you to check for understanding.
