Summary of written and /or oral feedback from my mentor
Strengths
My mentor has highlighted the following strengths in my practice and understanding:
Justin prepares thoroughly. He has his lesson plans wellorganized in advance and always seeks feedback about lesson proposals.
He knows his subject areas very well and is enthusiastic in his presentation which engages the young people.
He is confident in using a variety of technology and is always open to suggestions about different ways to present material.
He has a very good understanding ofthe needs and learning capacity ofthe young people in the class and develops appropriate
leaming materials to support them.
He has a very good rapport with the young people in the class and they respond well to him.
Justin has been eager to teach from the beginning of the placement and has been willing to undertake any activity in relation to teaching
responsibilities.
Areas for further development
My mentor suggests that I should work further on the following areas:
Justin writes up his lesson proposals well but might n'eed to check that they comply with the requirements of the university.
Justin relies a lot on technology eg:- You tube and he use of data projectors and maybe needs to ensure he has back up plans if these
are unavailable.
Justin might need to work on the timing of activities to ensure that he meets his intentions during planned lessons.
