My Evidence
Reflection/Notes
Appraiser Feedback/Feedforward
http://andreasteachingjourney.blogspot.co.nz/2017/03/hats-off-to-me.htmlI put a lot of time and effort into my relationships with my students and their families. I pride myself in my open and prompt communication with them and enjoy the reciprocal nature from most.

My relationships with my colleagues are just as important and I feel this year I am getting the balance right with my time spent on school work and my home life. I have always enjoyed finding and sharing resources and are happy to help colleagues if I can.

I am learning to ask for more support around students I am needing advice with such as students with GDD.  I have also referred a student to CDC for more learning support.

I have thought about Natalie’s advice about managing my communication and are putting more thought into the time I am responding to emails.

You have made an effort to get to know all children in your class and their whanau. Your classroom environment is positive for the children You able to share information about the children’s learning and wellbeing through the parent conferences and your class blog. You have shared ideas and resources with colleagues in your areas of strength and are utilising others strengths within the team. I would encourage you to manage your communication with whanau so it doesn’t impact on your time away from school.
