Component Ratings
1a (obs): Demonstrating knowledge of content and pedagogy 3- Effective
The teacher provided clear explanations of the content. During phonics, she

sounds.
1e (obs): Designing coherent instruction N/A
2a: Creating an environment of respect and rapport 3- Effective
Talk between the teacher and students and among students was uniformly
respectful.
2d: Managing student behavior 4- Highly Effective
Student behavior was entirely appropriate.
3b: Using questioning and discussion techniques 3- Effective
The teacher makes effective use of wait time. For example, after asking, "Let's put
our learning hats on and think about a sentence," she waited for 5 seconds before
telling students to turn and talk with a partner.
3c: Engaging students in learning 2- Developing
Some students were intellectually engaged in the lesson. Students that were
working independently were completing a packet, but the resources were not
directly from the Fundations curriculum. Additionally, the pacing of the lesson was
uneven - teachers spent time listening to students' sentences containing the word
"call" and did not have enough time for students to apply their understanding to a
shared reading.
3d: Using assessment in instruction 3- Effective
Last Revised: 12/08/22 4:44:31 PM By dremsen
Within the teacher's small group, students were invited to assess their own work
and make improvements. When the teacher saw that some students had written a
"y" incorrectly, she showed them how to write it and the students adjusted their
work.
4e (obs): Growing and developing professionally N/A

Additional Evaluator Notes (please attach more pages, as necessary):
Ms. Esteban,
Thank you for welcoming me into your classroom on 11/29/22. When we met with you and your co-teacher
on 12/1/22, we discussed that your classroom is a calm and positive learning environment. We also
discussed ways to implement Fundations lessons more efficiently, as a component of balanced literacy, and
ways to effectively collect data during the lesson.
Continue implementing Fundations with fidelity and reach cui to ou r Literacy Coach, Josephine, for additional
support.
