Observation Notes
See below.

Areas of Strength
You have set up great structures to support an environment in which students can ask questions and provide evidence.

Areas of Improvement
Continue to study and learn from your colleagues. Your assessment and engagement will continually increase as you grow and
learn more about the content.

Next Steps
Finding ways for students to self assess is always difficult. Perhaps using The Teaching Channel or researching a website could
help you as you develop the use of students self assessing during learning.
