Focus - Relationships
Parents:
I have observed you interacting with the parents from your class in a positive and genuine
manner. You are always seen to have a smile on your face and a listening ear. Whenever
you have had a concern or are unsure you have sort advice from myself and have been
keen to act and resolve issues yourself with parents.
Parents come in and chat to you and are now helping in your class. I have observed you
answering their questions and heard you giving them positive feedback about their child.
Teachers/Staff:
You have been very keen to participate in the school wide events offering your time.
Thank you for your help sorting the book room and organising the resources and books.

observed you making an effort to interact and speak with all staff members.

You have made a conscious effort to get to know your class as individuals and build a
positive relationship.
I have observed you:
- Warmly greeting children as they arrive

- Using praise and positive reinforcement
- Having a focus child whom you wanted to build a stronger relationship with.
- Participating in discussions with other staff to help build a stronger relationship with
children

-Treat children as individuals and look for ways to individualise your program to meet the
needs of all your learners.
General Comment; Courtney, in the short time you have been at Methven Primary you
have grown in confidence and have immersed your self in the school culture. You show
independence and initiative, which has made team teaching with you a fun and rewarding
experience. You are a reflective practitioner and ask relevant questions which enhance
your teaching and professional development.
