FEEDBACK FORM Student's Name Phittinan Somyawakat Date 26/07/24 Length of time working with 5 months student Please describe three skills/things this student performs well. Please give examples to support your response. Patience She is very patience working with children every calm team work. She is a reliable team worker & trust worthy who can handle difficult situations. Punctual - She is a punctual person and always on time to carry out the routines and rhythms of the day in the room. Creativity in Lesson Planning When planning things for the children that are both fun and educational, she is very creative. Children were enjoying themselves with her experiences, and it helped them learn about the world/surroundings in a fun and engaging way. Please provide three skills that require further improvement. Please give examples to support your response. Peta needs to strengthen her curriculum knowledge in order to make lessons more relevant and to include essential learning goals into activities. She also has to work on classroom management, especially when there are changes in the room. Developing better strategies to deal with these shifts might assist to keep the environment calmer and more organised. She also has to be more forceful and confident while interacting with Children's parents, as she frequently delivers brief updates rather than detailed comments. T think it is the best for her after gaining confidence in speaking with parents. This will help her in communication and keep them up to date on their child's progress and experiences.
