Final Comments/Suggestions for Candidate:

The scholars truly enjoyed getting to know Ms. Rake and she them. This is so important in middle school! As
mentioned above, she is developing in several key areas, but continues to reflect, accept feedback, and work to
improve. These are important traits for even the most experienced teacher! It has been a joy working with her
and I look forward to hearing of more success to come!
