Mrs. Lynett is quick to ask for feedback on a regular basis. Before the lessons she asks me to go through
her lesson plans and after the lessons we discuss how the lesson went and how her management
was. She is responsive to the feedback and is eager to apply anything that is suggested to her. Lucy
takes her weekly goal setting very seriously and works hard to achieve these goals weekly.
From Lucy's previous career she brings a wealth of knowledge of speech and language. She was quick to
apply this in the classroom in many ways including literacy.

Lucy is able to include a variety of teaching, learning and assessing strategies in her detailed lesson plans
to meet the necessary outcomes. She recognizes that not all students learn in the same way and this
variety is necessary. For example, she makes sure that visual and oral instructions are included in every

is through the classes weekly goal setting they will build a structure such as a scarecrow, so the students

strategies that have worked for her and this class. Most notable Lucy has learned the value of having a
'egular routines and structure.

Lucy is genuinely concerned about all of the students and their learning, not just the high and low

In the classroom Lucy has worked very hard to make sure that students develop as whole people. She has
used social stories to help specific students learn necessary social skills and emotional regulation. AIso
she has shown respect to all students and cultures by learning about their stories and customs.

Personally Lucy has worked to find a work-life balance during this busy time in her life. She was able to
balance a busy family and her educational demands. She never forgets that family always comes first!

 Mentor Teacher/?racticum Supervisor Narrative
Additional comments about your student-teacher's performance.

Lucy has proved that she is wise beyond her teaching years. Her previous life experiences were very
easily transfened to this students teaching term. She was able to manage a classroom with clear
expectations while holding all students accountable for their learning.

She understood that students always come first and that they all deserve to be treated with respect and
dignity. ln return, students respect Lucy and truly care about her. They have all enjoyed learning from
each other

I have enjoyed working with Lucy over the past 9 weeks. She has become a valued member of the grade 2
team and we will all miss her when her term is over. I wish her all the best as she finished her degree and
enters the teaching profession. lt would be a pleasure to be Lucy's teaching partner in the future.
