She had a good relationship with her Overall, I think Reem’s lesson was good, she
students, she also had very creative improved very well since her first lesson. The
activities that assisted the student’s only thing that she might need to improve is
understanding. Her lesson plan was well her grammar and pronunciation
written and, in enough details, even for
another teacher to teach with no problem.

This is my second time doing a peer observation, and it was a very helpful thing to do. I
was very excited to see how Reem developed since the last time I observed her, and she
was very confident this time and excited to be observed for the first time by out MCT. I was
so proud of Reem and could not wait to share my feedback with her, she was pleased with
my assessment and happy that her lesson was successful. It was a great experience and I
wish Reem all the best in her future career as a teacher.
