Student had a very successful clinic experience here at Hebron Avenue School. She built a very good rapport with the students in my classroom,
as well as with the Fifth Grade Team teachers. She was very willing and enthusiastic about working with students, be it one-on-one, in small
groups or whole class. The students both respected and came to really look forward to Student's visits. Student was always very quick to assist
struggling students and even anticipated their needs. She frequently asked questions regarding curriculum and assisted in all aspects of the
classroom environment.
I believe Student participated in a variety of activities and classroom instruction that will directly assist him in future educational planning. This
experience included small/large group instruction, a PPT meeting and file reviews.
We had some schedule conflicts - snow days, an odd class schedule, delays (as a result of weather), etc. Otherwise, great experience!
Student exceeds in all expectations. It has been a pleasure to work with him this semester.
Student is going to be a great teacher. I think one of her greatest attributes is her enthusiastic attitude and willingness to learn. I would highly
recommend Student continue in the teaching field.
Student has made improvements since the start of his placement. I hope he continues to grow and stick with this field. I think he would be
better placed in a content area he is more familiar with (make it easier to help and interact with students).
Student did a great job this semester. I looked forward to having her hear each week. She worked well with all students and other teachers.
It has been such a pleasure to have had Student here at Hopewell. She has demonstrated an aptitude for teaching. She always acted in a
professional manner and she related well to the students and all the adults she came in contact with here.
Student appears to be very motivated & enthusiastic. She is willing to give help, worked with small groups of students, & asks questions to
further aide in learning.
Student has the ability to connect with students, many of which come from drastically different backgrounds and attitudes towards education.
She will be successful engaging students in learning activities that she creates and trade materials.
Student has shown a lot of improvement, and been more comfortable with our severely disabled students. She is easy to get along with and
became part of our classroom team.
Student has demonstrated the skills needed to be a successful teacher. She helps all students in the room and is aware of each of their learning
styles. Sheena has developed a very close and caring connection with her case study.
It was a pleasure to work with Student this semester. I am certain she will an asset to the teaching profession!
Student was a pleasure to have at Southeast School. He asked lots of questions, jumped in to help with students and carefully observed the
classroom activities.
Student has done everything that I have asked. We picked a potentially difficult student and Student dealt with the challenge in a mature and
professional manner.
Student is a mature, organized young lady. She observed and commented on all that was happening in the room. She reached out to the
students and supported them at many different levels. This experience has helped Sara to observe young children learning. She noticed the
growth from month to month. It was my pleasure having her in my room.
Student was very responsible in completing the requirements for her clinic. She was consistently engaged in observing teachers and reflecting
on the practices she witnessed.

meetings.

working with students and reflecting with teachers, attending PPTs and asked insightful questions about meetings. My students and I greatly
enjoyed having her and will miss her!
Student always asked questions that would better help her address the individual needs of students. She sought to find their strengths and
encouraged them to find areas in which they could best succeed. She has a nice way with students and being able to help them find the positive
viewpoint in situations and try to problem solve at their own level. She is a confident young lady who will do well in the field of education. It was
a pleasure having her in our classroom.
Student has been a pleasure to have in the Bridges Program @ WHS. Working with this population of students is no easy task and she has done
an outstanding job and connected with several students.
We enjoyed having Student and would welcome him back at any time.

took great notes, asked questions and was a willing participant whenever asked for help.

variety of other teachers.
Very positive and conscientious student. Able to shadow Spanish teacher to view instruction.
Student exceeds expectations and is a very mature, responsible young man. A pleasure to have. He will be missed.
Student has shown professionalism and initiative during her internship here at Vinton. She has an excellent rapport with the children & has
taken the time to get to know each of them. She took on a lesson about how milk gets to our homes & had the children make butter (above and
beyond a "normal" lesson). Melissa also came in during times children were getting ready for & performing a play, which also showed her
dedication to this experience. I would highly recommend Student for any classroom.
Student has been a wonderful addition to our school! Can she come back to do her student teaching here!? She has jumped right in to help out.
Student is a very patient teacher and looks to help out whenever she can!

and hardworking.
Student was the best intern I've ever had. She was wonderful and very energetic/motivated. Full of great ideas!
It was a pleasure to work with Student. She was prompt for all clinic sessions, and often put in extra time. She had a good rapport with the
students, and was professional in her dress and behavior at all times. She was willing to assist me in anything I asked, but was not afraid to ask
for clarification or let me know what she needed to complete her clinic experience.
It was great having Student in our class. The children related nicely to him and enjoyed having him in the class. He will make a great teacher.
It was a pleasure to work with Student this semester. I am confident that she has all the assets she needs to become a respected teacher.
Student will be a wonderful teacher. She is very helpful and has gone above and beyond when it came to helping students on our team. They
looked forward to the days she'd be here! :) I have enjoyed having her around and found her assistance invaluable. I look forward to hearing
about all of her future successes.
Student was a pleasure to work with. The students respected her and looked to her as an authority in the classroom. Once she learned the
classroom routine, she took the initiative to start and/or attend to a task. Student watched teacher delivery of lessons and picked up on details
then was able to teach the lesson herself with a later class. She also involved herself with the core of teachers whenever the opportunity
presented itself.
Student was professional, polite and creative. I truly appreciated her solid efforts. The questions she asked, suggestions she made and planning
done to work with students demonstrates a high level of competence.
Student had a very successful experience working in an all day Kindergarten classroom over the past semester. She willingly took on any task
that I asked of her. She was involved with the students in small group, whole group, and with individuals. She supported the classroom teacher
in many ways. She maintained a professional attitude and showed respect for the students. Although Student is seeking a degree in high school
history, she adapted very well to Kindergarten. It was a nice opportunity for her to see where the students begin their educational experience.
Student was consistently eager & willing to help out in any way during her time at Hebron Ave. She took initiative in terms of working with
students and helping to prepare projects and other classroom materials. Student worked on bulletin boards, worked in small groups and one on
one with art or writing projects, and she helped to deliver an introductory lesson in poetry. Student exceeded expectations and was a pleasure
to have in our kindergarten classroom!
Student did a lovely job working with small groups and analyzing data to inform her instruction. I wish her many future successes as an
educator.
Student showed evidence of having positive goals that included successfully working with children. She built a positive relationship with my
students in a professional manner. Student maintained a positive attitude throughout her experience. She remained focused the entire
semester, helping the students reach full potential.
Student was enthusiastic and was very positive with students and staff. She observed many different teaching styles and was thoughtful in her
observations of students. Overall, it was a very successful placement!
Student did a great job! She built a wonderful rapport with all of the students. She often took initiative and was eager to participate in all
activities. She will make a wonderful educator!
It has been a pleasure having Student in my third grade classroom this semester. Although this classroom assignment is very different than what
Student is studying, he came in with a positive/open attitude and quickly learned to adjust to third grade students. I wish him great success in
his future classrooms.
I have enjoyed working with Student this semester. She will be a great semester.
Student has shown initiative in helping to create curriculum materials for classroom use. Nice Job, great student.
Student did a fantastic job in my classes. She worked very well with what can be a very challenging group of students. She proved adept at
teaching a variety of subjects, and was eager to learn and participate in class routines. She displayed all of the skills of great future educator.
Student was a welcome member of our team. Her insight, willingness to try new strategies and share some of her tricks of the trade were
admirable. She will be a welcome addition to the field of education.
Student was a wonderful addition to my 5th grade classroom this semester. Student quickly developed a wonderful rapport with the students
and staff at Mansfield Middle. Due to scheduling conflicts, she was unable to attend PPT's, however, she never hesitated to inquire about IEP's
or a student’s background. Student should be commended for her flexibility. She began observations a full week before the required "start." We
had multiple snow days and/or late openings. She always had a reassuring smile for the kids. Good luck and best wishes in your fall placement!
We'll miss you! :)
Student was truly a pleasure to have! He interacted well with students and staff. He met with several staff members to discuss the student he
conducted his case study on and made arrangements to observe the student in various educational settings. Student is anxious to learn all he
can as evidenced by his questions and observations! He will make a great teacher!
Student made excellent strides since her first day. She became increasingly comfortable with the students and was extremely patient when
working with them. She was professional in her approach at all times.
Student has been a wonderful asset to the classroom. She is aware of the different learning styles of the children and helps each and every one
of them. Student shows in her knowledge and actions that she will be a highly effective teacher.
I've enjoyed working with Student this semester and have come to know her as an intuitive young woman. She has developed an excellent
rapport with the students she has worked with - even though these students see her only once a week. Her observations and
questions/concerns about students and classroom environment are insightful and mature. She shows great responsibility in her interactions
with students. No doubt, Student will have a positive student teaching experience.
Student has been a real pleasure to work with. The students & I will miss her. A very knowledgeable & talented young lady!
Student is a very mature and conscientious young educator. She was open to experiencing all aspects of the high school and willingly
participated in professional development activities above and beyond what was expected. It was a pleasure having her in my classroom. She will
be an asset to our profession.
Student has completed her junior year clinic here at North Windham School. During her stay, I had the opportunity to work with Student in my
kindergarten classroom. She worked in my room every Monday and was exposed to all areas of the curriculum. Staci worked with individual
students helping them in writing and math. She also worked with small groups of students who varied in their learning abilities during skill
tables. What I found most refreshing about Student is that she has a natural ability to organize and think quickly about how to proceed with a
task. She is quick, yet patient, displaying very good behavioral management skills. She demonstrated an ability to keep the children engaged in
their work, always responding in a positive way to their needs; yet she didn't allow them to take advantage of her position. Student also helped
out with bulletin board displays and she was an asset in preparing the children for their presentation on insects. She was involved in costume
design and creation. She assisted the children during practice helping them find a voice for the poem they wrote and giving them pointers on
stage presence. It was a pleasure to have Student in the classroom.
I was impressed with Student's positive attitude and friendly attitude. The children liked having her in class. She worked with individuals to
complete tasks as well as did periodic reading assessments. It was a pleasure having her in my class this semester.
I feel that Student’s involvement and interest in the clinic experience decreased some throughout her time in my classroom. From my
viewpoint, her participation in activities both in and out of the classroom lessened. I do believe that Student has the ability to be a wonderful
classroom leader, I just do not feel that she worked to her best potential in this experience. Student often changed the days and times of her
clinic experience which made it difficult to plan.
Student was very professional and took an active role in our classroom.
Student was an excellent addition to Manchester High School. She will make an excellent teacher and professional.
Student has transitioned well from being a student to a professional in teaching. She has taken the initiative in dealing with the needs of my
diverse classroom academically & socially. She will make a fine teacher.
Student has exceeded expectation benchmarks. She is on her way to becoming an excellent educator. Student is sensitive to each child's needs.
She's displayed a curiosity about curriculum and writing lesson plans. Student has observed and helped with individualizing lessons for children
with special needs. Student has participated and observed grade level meetings and consulting with support staff. She has a reflective,
intelligent manner that is reassuring to younger children. My class has loved having Student be with us. We will miss her greatly. I wish Student
the best of luck and life in her future. She is a gift to education.
Student's caring attitude and great sense of humor were appreciated by students and staff. His enthusiasm, whether working with students or
completing classroom responsibilities was commendable. Students looked forward to Student's clinic day, and they often asked, "When is
Student coming?" What better reference can there be?
Student did an excellent job working with students with a wide range of exceptionalities in a variety of subjects. She was very professional and
proactive and had great rapport with the students.
Student was a welcome addition to the Goodwin Elementary community. She is extremely observant and was able to pick up on students'
strengths and needs as well as appropriate instructional strategies and language that were used to instruct, maintain attention, and assess
learning. Student primarily was an observer this semester within my classroom, however when asked, administered spelling tests, played
reading and math academic games, read with individual students at their independent level, worked with guided reading groups, supported
students in the regular education classroom and participated in morning meeting activities. She demonstrated a positive rapport will all
students and they looked forward to seeing her. I would encourage Student to continue to take more initiative within the classroom. She is in a
leadership position and asking for more will continue to help her become a stronger teacher. I would also encourage Student to learn more
about different disabilities and how to teach students with specific weaknesses, since this is a majority of students whom Special Educators and
Regular Educators work with in the classroom that struggle. Student has successfully completed her Clinic Placement for the spring and is ready
to continue her professional growth as a teacher. We will miss her at Goodwin and wish her the best of luck!
Student always arrived on Monday mornings with a bright smile and enthusiasm to match. She continuously sought out my advice, opinions, &
techniques so she could understand the complete process of teaching in a comprehensive way. Her interest in the students through questions
and comments was genuine and refreshing. I feel she will be an excellent asset in any school district.
It was a pleasure to work with Student and I can say I am proud to have him as a colleague and a friend. Student worked with a very difficult
population. Most of our students are severely disabled and non-verbal and Student help in the development of ways to help our express their
wants and needs. Thank you for letting him work with us.
Student is very professional and helpful! We will miss her!
I am most impressed by Student's ability to take the initiative in my classroom by redirecting students, helping to correct inappropriate
behavior, questioning students in small groups as well as one-on-one, and being open to talk with students about school and higher education.
Her presence motivates even some of my most challenging students and she isn't afraid to face the difficulties of the heterogeneous class.
Student has done a great job in her placement here. She is always professional and has the ability to develop a positive rapport with staff and
students. As Student continues to grow professionally, I believe that she will take initiative more for all tasks required. She has been a joy to
work with.
Student has been a huge helper, creator, and facilitor to our classes. She has aided in teaching, monitoring, and administrating lesson plans in a
highly efficient productive manner. I honestly believe that Student has had the fullest opportunity and productivity that Bulkeley has offered
and Student has highly contributed to. I give her my highest recommendation.
Once again Student continues to exceed my expectations in all areas. I believe she had a great experience here at BHS. She had the opportunity
to observe a variety of classes and teaching styles. She is more than ready to go out and have an excellent student teaching experience.
Throughout this semester Student has gone above and beyond to make this a meaningful experience for both herself and our class community.
She is highly motivated and extremely caring. This profession will be lucky to have her.
Student is an asset to our classroom. She interacts well with the students.
It was a pleasure having Student in class. All of my students valued her presence here. She was constantly engaged with the students, providing
whatever assistance she could. I would suggest that Student be a little more assertive during her observations, seeking out ways to become
more of an instructional presence in the room and coming forward w/ ideas based upon her review of the curriculum and what she sees in class.
Student has been a great addition to our classroom! She is always willing to help with lessons and one on one student instruction. She will be
greatly missed.
It has been a pleasure to have Student in my classroom this semester. She is a responsible and mature Student who interacts very well with
students and faculty alike. She is welcome to return anytime she wishes!
Student has done a great job in her placement here. She is always professional and has the ability to develop a positive rapport with staff and
students. As Student continues to grow professionally, I believe that she will take initiative more for all tasks required. She has been a joy to
work with.
