Supervising teacher general comments:

Amy, this has been an extremely successful placement for you. I am

absolutely thrilled to have witnessed such great progress in your
development.

Initially, you voiced a number of your concerns regarding the lack of

resources and low English levels of your learners. Professionally and
quite positively, you observed your students and reflected upon
strategies that would best be used to address these needs. You have
created many stage appropriate resources and planned well
sequenced and structured lesson plans which adequately address the
learning intentions.

You are highly regarded by your students who respond positively to

your calm and gentle management approach. At times when the
students as a group are poorly managed do not fear from using a
firm tone in order to regroup them.

You have maintained a professional and productive relationship with

your colleagues including your ACU peer. You quickly identified your
strengths and weaknesses and developed strategies to assist you in
areas of weakness (e.g. utilising Irenes drawing skills to assist in
creating resources)

I would like for you to recognise your capacity in the early years
setting. Whilst lack of self-confidence is often your greatest enemy,
you should recongise your many strengths in teaching ES1 learners.
You are highly suited to teaching early years learners and you will be
an asset to any school who would be very fortunate to have you on
staff.

Wishing you success in all future endeavors.

Michelle Tamaro
