Evidence (Candidate and Student)
I can’t answer this as well as Molly can about
her own self-evaluation but she definitely
wanted and listened to feedback about her
lessons. Maybe with the kids, doing informal
thumbs up or thumbs down with questions as she
teaches would help her evaluate her students’
understanding quickly. She did have student
work to use as well.

Summary Statement and Areas to Concentrate on Improving: As this was one of Molly’s first times in a classroom teaching lessons,
she definitely stepped up to the challenge. She weaved her lessons into the curriculum of the classroom and included hands-on
activities to engage as many students as possible. As Molly gets more practice in the classroom, she will improve extensions on a
lesson- taking things to higher levels and integrating learning across subjects.
