You did an excellent job of paraphrasing student input/responses as they volunteered. Despite having a very large group of

Comments:
Strengths: Areas on which to focus:

Creating a warm and positive classroom climate Circulate and monitoring as students are working
Using many different types of positive reinforcement, even Consider adding more management tools to your repertoire
delayed reinforcement, which means that you brought up (using Dojos yourself, positive stick notes on desks, etc.)
what a student said earlier in the lesson and reminded the
class who said it as well! This is a high level of positive
reinforcement that demonstrates listening and regard for
students. Great job!

Well-planned lesson with real life application that excited
