- Good Afternoon Mrs. Miller
"It was an absolute pleasure to see your students at work this week. I wanted to take a moment to share some feedback, as well as provide a few suggestions for moving forward.
🌟Glows: Great Math lesson! Learning target was fully aligned to the standard. Taxonomy level of student learning was high. Students were in groups and actively participating. Love the non-generic roles given to students for each group. Overall a very well planned out lesson." - Q3 Peerwalk Feedback

- Good morning Ms. Miller...
I hope you are doing well. Yesterday we walked classrooms to gather trend and coaching data and I wanted to share some feedback to you.
Glows:
- Clear routines are outlined in your classrooms and it is evident that students know what to do and what is expected
- You provide students with ample opportunity to work independently of you on various tasks
- You positively reinforce using points, verbal recognition, and hand signals such as thumbs up.
- There is a positive and calm culture of learning in your classrooms. Kudos to you!! I know Q4 can be tough but you are doing the thing! - Q4 Network 9 Feedback
