Georgia Intern Keys (Student Teacher) Evaluation Form

Monika Turner (Self-Assessment)
Performance Standards Chosen: 2, 4, 7 and 9

Performance Standard 2: Instructional Planning

The teacher plans using state and local school district curricula and standards,
effective strategies, resources, and data to address the differentiated needs of all
students.
Self-Score: 4
Defense: The teacher consistently plans using state and local school district curricula
and standards, effective strategies, resources, and data to address the differentiated
needs of all students. Using the curriculum portal and the Georgia Standards of
Excellence I am using effective strategies and seeking out resources while
collecting data to address all student needs individually.
The teacher continually seeks and uses multiple data and real world resources to plan
differentiated instruction to meet the individual student needs and interests in order to
promote student accountability and engagement. (Teachers rated as Exemplary
continually seek ways to serve as role models or teacher leaders.) . As seen in my
most recent lesson plan, I have incorporated relevant learning experiences,
differentiation, strategies all appropriate to the subject content while going
above what is required and incorporating a fully engaged student interaction
and interest through a student inquiry learning environment. Also, have
collaborated and served as a role model to Abby Duszak to help with her lesson
planning, differentiation and increasing student involvement.

Performance Standard 4: Differentiated Instruction

The teacher challenges and supports each students learning by providing appropriate
content and developing skills which address individual learning differences.
Self-Score: 3
Defense: The teacher consistently challenges and supports each students learning by
providing appropriate content and developing skills which address individual learning
differences. This is seen through my most recent lesson. I recently assessed my
students to find out what level of sight words they are one, have provided
different assignments all while helping improve their reading comprehension

using reading intervention strategies while collecting data to show improvement.

Performance Standard 7: Positive Learning Environment

The teacher provides a well-managed, safe, and orderly environment that is conducive
to learning and encourages respect for all.
Self-Score: 4
Defense: The teacher continually engages students in a collaborative and self-directed
learning environment where students are encouraged to take risks and ownership of
their own learning behavior. (Teachers rated as Exemplary continually seek ways to

serve as role models or teacher leaders.) My students were able to decide what
specifically they want to learn, selected reading comprehension, they were able to
choose a novel in the library we would work on as a group instead of just being
assigned. This allowed them to take ownership of their reading experiences with
me and they have even felt comfortable enough to read aloud in my small group.

Performance Standard 9: Professionalism

The teacher exhibits a commitment to professional ethics and the schools mission,
participates in professional growth opportunities to support student learning, and

contributes to the profession.

Self-Score: 4
Defense: The teacher continually engages in a high level of professional growth and
application of skills and contributes to the development of others and the well-being
of the school and community. (Teachers rated as Exemplary continually seek ways to
serve as role models or teacher leaders.) I have sought professional growth by
attending a PLU session once a month since August at RESA in the subject area
of assessment. I have been seeing professional growth additionally by meeting
with multiple teachers at my school to increase my skill set and knowledge. I
have also contributed to helping others within the school and community by
collaborating and volunteering for things I see others need. Additionally, when
out on a snow day I took the effort to make up well over the amount of time I
missed to show my dedication and school spirit.
