Clinical Practice Evaluation 3 again focuses on the InTASC standards. Please consider how the teacher candidate has
performed in relation to the following standards.
Standard 1: Student Development
1.1 Teacher candidates create developmentally appropriate instruction that takes into account individual students’
strengths, interests, and needs and enables each student to advance and accelerate his or her learning.
1.2 Teacher candidates collaborate with families, communities, colleagues, and other professionals to promote student
growth and development.
FS Comments: Ashanty pointed out text clues for students who missed the vocab review at the beginning of the lesson:
“It’s in parentheses.”
CT Comments: Ashanty creates reviews in Math and Social Studies where students interact and use academic language.
Their scores are increasing.
Standard 6: Assessment
6.1 Teacher candidates design assessments that match learning objectives with assessment methods and minimize
sources of bias that can distort assessment results.
6.2 Teacher candidates work independently and collaboratively to examine test and other performance data to
understand each student’s progress and to guide planning.
6.3 Teacher candidates prepare all students for the demands of particular assessment formats and make appropriate
modifications in assessments or testing conditions especially for students with disabilities and language learning needs.
FS Comments: Ashanty implemented random review to hold students accountable for doing the review work after
direct instruction lesson. Students are being held accountable and rising to the occasion and having better test scores.
Ashanty circulated during partner talk to listen and support productive talk.
CT Comments: Continuing with our district’s math focus, Ashanty has been modifying our pre-tests and math tests. She
has continued with the math vocab packet, and Formative Loop monitoring.
CT Overall Feedback
Evaluation #1
Pre-observation
Areas of focus that I believe I need to work on are Advocacy, I need to believe more in myself so I can be more
successful in my student teaching. Another would be Reflection, I need to be able to recognize and be
thoughtful when teaching, recognize signs when students are not understanding the lesson so that I can
reteach it.
I have noticed that when the teacher is teaching the lesson up on the board and expecting the students to
write what she is writing there are many of them who are not doing the assignment therefore, I believe we need
to constantly be walking around the room to make sure they are following along.
A big success I believe is getting an ELL student talking, she is very quite but never speak up, I have built a
good relationship with her and I finally got her to say a short sentence in English.
A challenge would be, having to do things the exact same way as my cooperating teacher, I respect her and
value what she is doing for me, but I do not always agree with her strategies, but I follow them.
I communicate daily with my cooperating teacher, we plan everything together, she gives me feedback
everyday.
Post-observation
What did I learn about my *strengths* after this evaluation? How can I use this knowledge to help me be successful in
the classroom?
I learned that I do have many areas of strengths were I thought I did not, this can help me be more confident in what I
do.
- What did I learn about my *challenges* after this evaluation? How can I use this knowledge to help me be
successful in the classroom?
I learned that my biggest challenge is believing in myself, I did better than I expected. I need to start believing than I can
do it so I can help my students be more successful.
- What gets in the way of me doing my best in this placement?
I believe that my fear of doing things wrong can get in the way of doing the best in this placement.
- What gives me a feeling of satisfaction in my work as a student teacher?
That the students are actively participating in class, and that they know what we are doing and why we are doing it. That
they can verbally explain how to solve a problem, or find a solution, rephrase, compare anything.
- How do I feel about myself as a student teacher and about the work that I am completing?
It feels great, its all I have ever wanted, it is a great experience and I look forward of having a class of my own.
- An area of focus I plan to work on going forward is ...
Once again believing in myself, I know I can do this and I need to stop fearing that I will do things wrong. I need to be
fully aware that there will be good days and bad days in where I need to reflect on my teaching strategies and find ways
to improve.
Evaluation #2
Pre-observation
One of the areas focus in my observation I believe should be Application of Content. Standard 5, I believe
that I have a difficult time making clear to the students how they can relate what they are learning to
real-world problems.
A success I have experienced in the classroom is that I am able to ask questions to my cooperating teacher,
I asked her if I could do something different fro the chapter review, make it a project and she said yes. I know
this could be a hit and crash, but she has faith in me. I am still working in my communication skills with my
colleagues. I do feel more comfortable speaking to them and asking for advice. I arrive early every day
therefore, I collaborate on a daily basis with my cooperating teacher. We plan the following week ahead, talk
about science experiments, we sit a see if we have all the materials needed and we also plan fundraising for
field trips.
Post-observation
After the second evaluation I believe that my biggest strength is having plenty of classroom experience, I
believe that it has paid off working as an aide and being exposed to so many classrooms. I can use this to my
benefit to know the do's and don'ts in the classroom.
Challenges in this evaluation was having to change the lesson plan that I had written, I like to be organized and
have a visual in what I am doing, but the lesson plan had to modified to accommodate the students needs.
I do believe that the lesson was successful, it was their first time doing group work and presenting in to their
classmates.
I believed that the students that gained the most were the ones speaking for their group, next time I do this I
will give each student a role in their group just to have more involved.
The students that were least engaged were the ELLs, I believe because of the language barrier, I will continue
to work with them and try to have them working more in groups so that they can feel comfortable to talk in
front of everyone.
An area that I need to focus on is classroom management, I have the biggest problem with students to stop
playing with their pencils, hands, arms, pencil boxes, erasers, etc.... I tried a point rewarding system, but I
believe it did not work as I expected.
Evaluation #3
Pre-observation
The one thing I wanted to focus on classroom management, it has improved a lot since I started, but I believe
that I need to work on it more. I noticed that the more I am prepared for the students the better they do in class,
the more focused they are, and they get better grades. We had a professional development day last week, and I
learned different strategies to help students write. A success that I continue to experience is my ELLs, they
have been doing awesome, participating in class, speaking in English, and trying improving their test scores. A
challenge continues to be grasping everyone's attention, having them to keep their eyes on me when I giving a
lesson. I continue to meet daily with my cooperating teacher, I do the planning on my own, but I share it with
her so we are both on the same page.
Post-observation
Each evaluation has opened my eyes to things that I did not acknowledge about myself, I do realize that I am to
hard on myself and that I want a perfect classroom. Now I realize that I will not have one, that there will be
great days where everything flows easily and there will be days that I will have many challenges.
One of the strengths I have learned about myself is that I have enthusiasm for teaching, I enjoy it every day. I
even had my cooperating teacher say that she thinks that go above and beyond in things I do to prepare for the
class, but I honestly do not believe I do. I believe that my students deserve the best education they could have
and if I can facilitate it for them that makes me feel great.
A challenge that I have in the classroom is balancing the needs of my students, I forget that some need extra
help, I also forget some are early finishers and that I need to have things prepared for them.
The students that I feel that gain more from the lesson are the students that I call on more because they have
to be active participants in the class, they are frequently called on so they pay more attention.
The students that seemed not be fully engaged are the ones that hardly participate even if they are being called
on, they tend to stay quiet and hardly raise their hand at all.
Something that I can do differently that would help my students is change their assigned seats, and change the
seating layout of the classroom, I would love to rearrange the classroom I am in. I believe that making group
seating have a big space in front of the class where we could gather on the floor or pull our chairs to the front,
for classroom conversations would be awesome for the learning experience.
An are that I would like to focus is asking more rigorous questions to have students critically thinking, to think
outside the box. This has also been a challenge for me because I tend to ask these types of questions and
answer them myself.
