assessing himself and his lessons, but he is also great at informal assessments of his students. He seems to really know his students and has
identified the students needs and strengths. Teaching is not just going to be a job for Griffin, its his passion and Im confident hes going to
succeed.
I have no doubt that Griffin will get involved with the school community as the semester progresses. Im happy to hear he plans on making phone
calls to parents and have a section in the weekly newsletter.
Any interaction I have ever had with Griffin has been professional and he has continued to model that during his student teaching assignment.
Professional Responsibilities Goals:
Student Teacher: I will show up each day willing to learn from my cooperating teacher while working my hardest to help the children succeed
academically, but also to help them adjust to life in a school setting. Since the students are so young, it may take some time for them to make the
proper adjustments needed, but I will strive to help them feel comfortable and safe when they are here. As I mentioned previously, I also want to
make sure I develop a positive relationship with each child to show them that I care and that I am here to help them succeed in every aspect of
their education.
Cooperating Teacher: I fully support Griffins goals. Griffin understands the value of learning and teaching and is continually striving to be the
best teacher he can possibly be.
University Supervisor: I also support Griffins goals and think hes on the right track to helping the students succeed and feel comfortable in a
school setting. It was evident the students look up to him and enjoy having him in the classroom. In addition to Griffins goals, I encourage him
to make a phone call home to a parent once a week and attend two school activities a month.
