Text Response

Melissa clearly understands how to unpack standards and develop essential questions. She understands how to choose specific math problems that gradually bring students to meet the objective of the lesson. Her
guided instruction is scaffolded and differentiated as well. She seems naturally able to plan creative math lessons that are engaging and meet the students at their level. The students find her activities fun and
engaging.

11. Areas for Improvement in domain 1a

Text Response

I sense there is a disconnect between the requirement for measurable objectives between the School District of Philadelphia, Drexel School of Education Dragons Teach Program, and some of the resident's
coursework. She struggles at times to write measurable objectives that meet all three expectations. Meanwhile objectives are not able to be utilized by the students as they are too "wordy" or measurable. Melissa
understands the essential topic or skill required within the objective and how the students must meet these. She writes excellent lesson plans according to them, however at times the objectives in the lesson plans are
confusing.
