Overall Observed Strengths Overall Suggestions for further development

(also include comments for the area of focus) (also include comments for the area of focus)

- Well prepared lesson (She have a several types of - Time management for the activity (Wafa did not but
activity to the student she passes all the activity one a specific time for the activities that she has done in
by one to the student). the lesson, after that she discus to set a time but the
student doesn’t notice that!! So she need to mention

very understanding language and easy to grade 2 - Student’s behavior
students, they understand the activity and they don’t - Teacher voice (Wafa’s need to make her voice louder
ask the teacher anything about it because its and there was one student says to
explained well). - her Ms pleas make your voice loud we cannot hear
you in the back.
Reflection (to be completed after discussion of Peer Review with colleague):

Wafa feels uncomfortable, nervous, stress and shy when she was teaching, student behavior was very noisy and
uncontrolled, she tries to shout out, speak too loudly but no respond back to here. She accepts the criticism, she
asked me questions to find solutions and she would like to change the student’s behavior in the next class. She was
acceptable about the evaluation that I give it back to her, because I told her the truth about her lesson.
I would recommend Wafa to use different strategies to improve the student behavior such as Classdojo, sticker
chart and many ways.

Please share feedback immediately following the observation once the forms are completed.
