1. Associate Teacher Report

During my first practicum placement at Dr. John Hugh Gillis Regional High School in November and December of 2025, my associate teacher observed all of my lessons that I taught. Prior to and after each lesson, we talked about potential strategies and ideas to enhance my lessons to ensure I am capturing the attention of all of the students and keeping them engaged in their learning. At the end of the term he provided myself and my field advisor with a report of his observations of my lessons. From his observations I plan to take and use the feedback to fine tune my future lessons to best fit the needs and facilitate the learning of all my students.

2. Field Advisor Teaching Reports (PDFs)

During my first practicum placement at Dr. John Hugh Gillis Regional High School in November and December of 2025, my field advisor observed 2 of my lessons. He was able to watch the lessons and provide me with constructive criticism to apply to my teaching. From the observations recorded and shared with me I can reflect on my teaching and integrate the feedback to future lessons to make them more engaging and meaningful for the students I will teach. Going into my next placement I look forward to hearing what my field advisor has to say about the improvements to my pedagogy and what more I can work on to perfect my practice.
