verbal. The pre-service teacher is required then to arrange a meeting time to share this summary with the mentor and
confirm its accuracy and implications for the remainder of the professional experience. This form is not to be used for
assessment purposes.

SUMMARY OF WRITTEN AND VERBAL FEEDBACK FROM MY MENTOR

[Type here note that additional pages can be added if required]
STRENGTHS
My mentor has highlighted the following strengths in my practice and understanding:

Clear communication for Tutorial tasks

Encouragement of student participation
Clarifying instructions for students
Rapport with students built up very quickly students very comfortable to talk to and work with Jessica.
AREAS FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT
My mentor suggests that I should work further on the following areas:

In terms of Tutorial sessions, Jessica should continue to work on eliciting ideas from students
via the method of questioning. This is perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of AVID
Tutorials so continuing to model the questioning method to other students will be very useful to
them.

My mentor and I have agreed that I will focus on the following goals, strategies and/or experiences during
the remainder of my professional experience:

Practice of the questioning method and getting students to do this with confidence
