Ms. Georgelin displayed many strengths already as a Teacher Candidate. I feel her most outstanding skills lie in her […] forethought and thorough per-planning of lesson implementation steps.
Ms. Georgelin took the time to really think out all the steps of her lessons. I could tell that she was preparing for what was to come and methodically going through the steps in order to ensure the smoothest delivery possible. If she was teaching something that she did not know, she would practice with it (ex. The digital components of UFLI Foundations) to ensure that she knew what she was doing.

My coaching teacher, Janine Hamming, included the above statement in her report of my teaching during my February-March practicum. During this practicum, there were many students with diverse needs in my class, so careful forethought on how to deliver a lesson that is meaningful and realistic for as many students as possible was imperative. If I wasn’t sure how to meaningfully include a specific student, I made a point of seeking advice from my coaching teacher, recognizing that teaching is a collaborative practice.
