ready and lesson plans were thoughtfully developed. This preparation was
reflected in the smooth execution of their lessons.
Did the student work regularly/frequently on their portfolio?

period, ensuring that it accurately reflected their experiences and growth as a

, NATALIE FOXX
Lola is a highly dedicated and passionate individual with a strong work ethic.

environment was impressive. They also excelled in lesson planning and were
proactive in seeking ways to enhance their teaching.

education sector as a beginner teacher:
While Lola has shown great promise, they could benefit from further developing

learners. Additionally, continued practice in differentiating instruction to meet
the diverse needs of learners will be valuable as they enter the education
sector.
