20  Student Evaluation

Part of the lesson plan implementation process is to have the supervising teacher watch and evaluate your activity. Although this can be a nerve racking experience, the opportunity to practice an instructional idea with young children and receive valuable feedback is priceless. It is here we can make mistakes and reflect on what we can do better next time. The more we practice the better we get!
