Link this with the teacher roles you studied.
I think teachers should focus mainly on value addition
and learning where more time is devoted for analysis
and conceptualization. I think there should be a time
for everything, learning time and time for various
activities because it is healthy for learners to take a
break through sports, cultural activities and other
academic activities that are outside class.

NAME OF STUDENT: ………………………………….
Please provide fair and honest comments regarding the following:
Was the general conduct of the student irreproachable (on time, conduct according to school
requirements for teachers)?
The student’s conduct was irreproachable because she showed great enthusiasm for her school
work and always wanted to help in class. She came to school on time for her practicals and
always asked questions where she did not understand. The student blended in well with the
other teachers as she sought to know and learn more about the profession.
Was the level of subject knowledge of the student sufficient for the presentation of lessons?
The student’s knowledge was sufficient and on point because she does extra lessons and
tutoring for the learners. She was also part of the Global Teacher’s Institute social development
program that helps learners struggling on Saturdays.
Did the student make use of your suggestions and recommendations to improve her/his work?
Yes, she made use of my suggestions and even helped me improve my relationship with the
students because we talked after every lesson/ lesson observation.
Did the student prepare properly when she/he had to present lessons?
Yes, she made lovely power-point presentations and lesson plans that were very eye catching
and interesting. Although, with a bit of practice here and there, she would be great at what she
does.
Did the student work regularly/ continuously on her/his portfolio?
, Yes, she constantly did her portfolio and all her school work and asked questions where she did
not understand.
Did the student complete her/his portfolio during the Practical Teaching period? YES/NO
Yes
Strong points of the student/ good qualities and good work done:
She used to stay over at school and help the learners who did not understand the lesson/topic.
Learners used to come to her during break time and she always was welcoming in helping them.
The student didn’t mind setting Friday tests for the learners, mark and give them feedback. She
also volunteered to help with extracurricular activities.
Aspects on which student still have to improve to be ready to enter education as a beginner teacher:
The student should show more confidence and be sure of her work, because she knows her
work, she just needs to be sure of it. She should stop being shy and just keep the ball rolling
because she’s doing great as is.
