There are areas that we continue to work on for improvement, but overall, he is making good progress. As I work with him on planning his student teaching segments, he is understanding more the importance of sequencing instruction for individual lessons. His written plans have become more detailed and useful. He is understanding how planning for individual rehearsal sessions contributes to long term goals. He is able to prepare goals and objectives for individual lessons, but is still continuing to work to devise a variety of teaching strategies to obtain those objectives. He is almost always prepared for his teaching segments and has gotten better about making sure that all the materials and equipment he needs are readily available for the lesson. He is communicating with the students well. They almost always understand his directions. We are working on a better balance between verbal and nonverbal communication. He still wants to “speak” all his 4
Narrative Evaluation Continued: directions instead of modeling for them. He is getting better at being adaptable and being able to think on his feet. He demonstrates this by being able to deviate from his plan when he perceives that the students are having difficulty. We are working on improving his pacing, as he is still allowing too much “down” time, especially in transition from one activity to the next. His musical skills as excellent. We are working at making his conducting gestures more expressive, and he needs to become more comfortable modeling for the students during rehearsals. His classroom management skills need considerable improvement, but this is pretty typical of students at this phase. He is beginning to develop a “teacher” voice and is working hard to be observant at all times. He does start his teaching on time and gets the students involved quickly, but has some problems in pacing that result in students talking. We are also working hard at his giving specific feedback to the students. He has gotten into the habit of saying “good” without telling the ensemble what was good. He is very respectful and considerate and has not been absent since the beginning of the semester. He dresses appropriately, and his interactions with the students has been very appropriate. He has always suggested my feedback and suggestions in a positive manner and remains calm in dealing with conflict or disagreement. He is very enthusiastic and energetic and has displayed initiative by asking for more tasks than I assigned. He has also been good about attending after school and weekend events. I consider him to be very reliable and dependable. I think we are in great shape for the midpoint of this placement. I am continuing to give him more teaching responsibility in the rehearsals, and he is eager to take it on. My concerns at this point are fairly minor and can be worked on through the remainder of the semester. This is only to give you an idea of the kind of feedback that is important to us to receive in evaluating the student. The more detailed you can be, the better for both the Midterm and Final Evaluations. The Midterm Evaluation is particularly crucial. If there are weaknesses that we need to be aware of, this is a good way to keep us informed so that we can work with the student, if necessary. 5
