expectations as well as areas where
improvement is needed.)
Additional Comments:
You need to be more of a presence in the classroom as a teacher. Your manner is still too low key. Use your teacher voice / speak louder and
with more decisiveness. Decide what you want students to do, then tell them, this is what we will do. You sound hesitant, like you are not
really sure what you want. This will make it more difficult for students to want to follow you as their leader.
As you circulate, stay engaged directly with the students. At some points you are just kind of wandering around.

contractions; use you are instead of youre.
