COMMENTS:
Throughout her practicum, Amelia could always be relied upon to have all of her materials prepared and organized in advance,
with completed examples ready to show the students. Amelia's lesson plans followed a well defined and easy to follow format,
which included lesson objectives, learning outcomes, introduction, body, learning resources, closure, and assessment methods.
As she became more familiar with the students, Amelia was able to determine ways to differentiate instructions for students who
needed support in certain areas.
Amelia dedicated many hours after school towards preparing her lesson plans and materials for her lessons. Amelia would also
use this time to reflect on her school day, as well as to help with general classroom upkeep. Amelia was always willing to
dedicate extra time to helping out with classroom preparation and clean up. Amelia always noticed what needed to be done,
and took the initiative to help.
