Other Comments and/or Suggestions: Other Comments and/or Suggestions He is moving in the right direction and we are happy to have him. I am definitely satisfied! Send me more like her please. He did a good job and did well with classroom management. He is a very big asset to our school. He is a good person and listens to instruction very well. He also applies the advice that he is given.


Comments and/or Suggestions cont.: Comments and/or Suggestions cont. Classroom management is the only thing he needs to work on. The only problem I have is parental contact. He needs to call and let parents know about grades, failures and behavior problems more often because this is his weakest area. Great teacher for a first year teacher.
