She understands what true interventions are and how to identify the unique learning needs of students.
I had the opportunity to observe Jessica's teaching, initiative, creativity, and leadership ... and Jessica was able to adapt and think quickly.
I have no doubt that Jessica will be a great collaborative team member and role model to students.
She encouraged critical thinking, asked varied questions, and connected content to previous lessons.
