Yes _____

Mary-Ellen felt positive and encouraged based

on our session

Mary-Ellen stated she wanted to continue to let

her students grow with the lesson and their own
exploration
Mary-Ellen was impressed with how her moves
throughout the classroom impacted student
engagement
I commented on how interested the students were
in science and how they were connecting to
their own lives
Mary-Ellen wants to create more interactive
elements of the lesson as well as collaborative
elements to share with other teachers

other teachers and

we talked about how she could share it in PD

with others as well as invite collaborators to
add to the lesson
Mary-Ellen came up with some ideas on what PD
would look like and how all teachers (not just
science) could benefit
I would not be able to witness the PD, but we
agreed to follow up at a later date
