Summary of Strengths
Excellent use of language that is inclusive, kind and helpful. The learners responded very well to the
range of activities and learning experiences you had planned for them. You were able to cope with
the change in the class very well, even though I know you felt over-whelmed by this, you bossed it!
You need to scan your learners at all time to make sure some don't just wander off. Insist they ask
your permission before going anywhere other than where the learning is taking place.

Your demonstrations were fabt ft was awesome seeing you get into the activities with the learners to
encourage them. I know it can be frustrating sometimes when learners don't engage but I think you
maintained your composure and adjusted the activity as necessary.

Summary of Strengths
Learners realty enjoyed the games. It is always great when you are constantly linking to the Li's yet
being very flexible about how you deliver the learning experiences. I love the way you wrap the
iessons upi!
Perhaps you might like to use an extra ref to help keep learners honest and engaging well. !t is
important to have a range of "go to's" to help learners check in or check out for a bit/ maybe a drink
of water/ whakanga, restorative dialogue etc. Also/ always have very clear boundaries; it is important
for learners to know what your negotiables and non-negotiables are.

Definitely saw a shift in your confidence in today's lesson! You were sure about your decisions and
how you wanted to deliver the teaching and learning. You knew how you wanted things to go and
adjusted to make sure you achieved your goals! Excellent development (^) Learners engaged very
well!!
As we talked about it, when you know your learners you will probably group them a little differently
so that one group is not disproportionately more dominant than another.

Summary of Strengths
Waiting for learners to all be ready before moving on or getting into the class discussion, ft can seem
like a waste of time, but it reminds all learners that they are all valid and their contributions are
important.
Classroom management - use proximity to prevent some unwanted hype or disruptive behaviour.
Address directly undesirable comments and discussions.
