Summary Statement and Areas to Concentrate on Improving:

:
Kerry, I enjoyed the cooperative learning lesson you taught today. The students appeared to also as well as understand the concept. You have
definitely established a very good working relationship and rapport with these students. They respect you as a student teacher. You appear very
confident and was clearly well prepared for this lesson. Let me know in the future how I can continue to support your teaching career. If you need
recommendations or letters of support, I would be glad to provide them.
