Interesting and varied activities engaged students and supported the lessons’ objectives. Regularly used a variety of assessments to monitor students’ prior knowledge and to create data regarding their learning progress throughout a unit. Collected data that showed student growth and reviewed lessons and concepts as needed. Maintained a safe learning environment in which students trusted me and each other.
