Ashley has been a student teacher on our campus for the 2016 ~ 2017 school year. Her time was shared between 3° grade and kindergarten. Ashley has been a blessing to our third grade classroom. During the first half of the year, Ashley came to third grade part time and focused on observations. Ashley's demeanor, lead her to inquire how she could play more of an active role in our classroom. She spent time circulating the classroom and helping, students as needed. She often asked questions on how to handle different situations. During the second half of the year, Ashley gradually took over the classroom. She began by teaching our science lessons, spelling and conducted our read-aloud time. As her time in third grade progressed, she added ‘math and ELA. During ELA and Math, she would not only assist in delivering the lesson, but would pull small groups. Ashely participated in team planning, campus professional development and district wide professional development. ‘As Ashley's mentor, | had the opportunity to work with her closely. | am very honored to recommend Ashley to be a part of this teaching experience. Ashley is positive and always seeking out ways to improve her craft. She does not only love the students, but she equally loves being around adults. Ashley works well as a teammate.
