Mentor Feedback The session was well planned and students were engaged and working for most of the session. Jess was actively involved with a number of students and rotated well around the room. Make sure you use your voice to gain attention and vary your tone when delivering instructions. Start and finish the session with all students listening and that means eyes on you, silent and not distracted by surrounds.
