PROFESSIONALISM
Katelyn presented herself in a professional manner at all times within the classroom and school environment.
She readily greeted and welcomed the students at the beginning of each day. Katelyn was punctual and always
prepared with her lessons and activities, and willing to shadow on regular teacher duties. She showed flexibility
and adaptability, as she willing accepted advice and shared her ideas and learning experiences with others. She
was able to adapt readily to changes in scheduling, often with little notice. Katelyn was able to realistically look
at the strengths and weaknesses of her lessons and took feedback well, applying new ideas and suggestions to
enhance her development as a teacher and lifelong learner.
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
Katelyn's caring and calm manner, along with her patience and respectful nature, helped her create a positive
learning environment and a good rapport with the students. She used positive management techniques that
included verbal phrases and one-to-one conferences. She used praise for appropriate behavior, making use of
proximity and various attention signals effectively. Katelyn ensured that materials were always organized and
prepared ahead of time. She was aware of meeting not only the cognitive needs of the students but also dealt
with the emotional needs as they arose in a positive and professional manner. She did not hesitate to intervene
with individuals, small groups, or the whole class when it became apparent that clarification or further
demonstration was required.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Katelyn was a pleasant and valuable addition to our classroom. Her ability to adapt to the grade one learner and
the hands on approach to teaching has been a pleasure to watch. She quickly established her role as teacher
and promoted and safe and nurturing environment that the students responded to. I enjoyed working with
Katelyn and I am confident that she will be a welcomed addition to any staff team and a wonderful teacher to a
fortunate group of students.
