2. Instruction:
Chelsea has developed a classroom environment which is inviting and where learning takes
place. Her lessons are structured with an introduction (activities and tasks are clearly outlined at
the beginning of each class), development (difficult assignment will be chunked out in order to
assure students success) and a closure. Chelsea always makes sure that the students understand
what to do before starting their assignments. Lessons vary from whole class instruction to small
group activities. Chelsea incorporates technology into her lessons using PowerPoint and the
SMART board whenever possible. Also, Chelsea is aware of differences amongst her students
and accommodates those needs in various ways. Some students are given extra time for
assignments, some students are provided with challenges within their assignments and Chelsea
always provides one on one support for those students who require it.

including observations, checklists, rubrics, exit passes, student worksheets, student projects,
conferences and checking daily work. Also, Chelsea is very good about providing students with
