Ms. Pen is a veteran math teacher that is new to the district. She has taught math for the past 17 years. Her references stated that she had excellent classroom management, her lesson plans were written in detail, and she had 75% or greater of her students who scored proficient on the state assessment. This year, her first year in our school, when I observed her 7th-grade and 8th-grade classes, I noticed that her 7th-graders are wild and out of control, and she spends most of the class period correcting behavior issues. I also noticed that the 7th graders did not do as well on the first benchmark assessment, with only 25% scoring proficient. Ms. Pen openly expressed her concerns about the 7th graders with the other middle school teachers. She is overwhelmed and feels she should focus her energy on the 8th graders, who are more interested in learning.

I would like scenario to be for a 1^st grade teacher and maybe one for a third grade Reading teacher.

Teacher

Experience – 2nd year teaching, but 1st year at my school.

Taught upper grades last year and now is a teacher 3rd grade.

She is a hard worker and has great energy.  She is not afraid of technology and loves incorporating new techniques.

Area of improvement in her classroom- She is not used to the instructional needs of 3rd graders. Example-She will go over answers of math problems and does not check to see if students are correcting answers.

Phone calls have been made from parents about students bringing home work with wrong answers for many subject areas.  After initial observation, I noticed the reason was because she was not walking around and spot checking and/or expectations had not been set.

She will be receptive to and positive to feedback and suggestions.
