Professional Dispositions
From last time: Seems to have a great relationship with the MST and the school. All is going well. Prompt
responses to questions and preparations for the observation
This time - the same. You seem to be doing very well and all is proceeding properly.
From last time: Keep up the good work. Maybe, do you need to be quite so strict? What does your MST
say?
You seem to have a very firm but strong manner and the students are responding very well with you.

assessment strategies.
This time as well, the lesson is very well done. Please see the plan.
No areas of concern
Teacher presence
• Uses body language (posture, walk the room while talking, make eye contact, and smile), voice (pauses,
voice variations, and tempo) and positions effectively to generate excitement and an active learning
classroom environment
• Demonstrates awareness of individual child needs and the group dynamic
• Addresses students’ academic and emotional needs while being resourceful about anticipating
unknowns
• Develops authentic relationships with students that breed confidence and respect throughout the
classroom, allowing for risk taking
• Challenges students to move beyond their comfort zone and supports them through open-ended
discussions
• Shows consistent receptivity to the current classroom climate and flexibility to change
• Connects abstract ideas to practical activities that generate enthusiasm and creativity
• Displays and models confidence, self-control, kindness, and positive attitude towards learning
• Speaks with energy and passion for higher student engagement
• Makes use of the classroom space by moving around while interacting with students
Strengths:
From last time: Very tight control and I think this is fine as it is a big class. It can take time to establish a
routine and there has been a lot of disruption.
This time, the class is just about perfect. You manage them very well and they respond in a very positive
manner.
No concerns

Flexibility and adaptability in context (reflection in action)
• Reviews teaching and learning practices and adapts them as appropriate for the Early Childhood context
• Considers adopting new high impact teaching and learning practices appropriate for the Early Childhood
context
• Assesses how teaching accommodates students’ needs and abilities at different stages of development
• Values teachable moments and adjusts teaching accordingly
Strengths:
Last time: The writing and the demonstrations were excellent. I think this was highly effective to get the
students to understand how they should write.
This time, the lesson again was very clear and easily explained. They all seem to follow along very well.
There are some very strong students in the class
No concerns!
Assessing Learning
From last time: Lots of assessment and great peer assessment strategies.
This time as well, there are lots of questions and opportunities for them to show their progress
From last time: How do you capture individual results? Did you investigate this?
Reflection
Page 3 of 5
• Develops action plans to address areas for improvement based on self-reflection
• Reflects on progress against the personally generated action plans
Strengths:
From last time: Was not so happy today but the class was disruptive. Normally they are so good, but
today they were over active. Maybe it was a Monday, they had a visitor and new students in the class.
