Daily interaction and ongoing communication between the Teacher Candidate and the Mentor Teacher is necessary to discuss the day’s lessons, observations, suggestions, future planning and other topics and/or concerns. It is important that the Teacher Candidate accepts any feedback received in a professional manner and adjusts the Practicum performance accordingly. Mentor teachers are encouraged to contact the Practicum Facilitator if there are concerns regarding acceptance of feedback.
Teacher Candidates record the Post-lesson Feedback on the MT Feedback Form. MTs initial the form at the end of each 5-day period and sign the form at the end of the Practicum Placement to show that they are in agreement with the captured feedback.
