A Word From Randy's Interns

"Mr. Baker came into the class after the class started and was able to observe the middle portion of class. He said I did a good job communicating with students and pulling students aside to review missing assignments and grades. I walked around and answered questions throughout the class and made all attempts to keep the students on task and on track."

"I feel that my first advisor assessment was very positive by Randy Baker. I did appreciate his feedback on making sure I verbalize my objective of the day and repeat it several times during the class."

A Word From Linda's Interns

 "Mrs. Denson has a sharp eye, she explained techniques to me I did not realize I was using while working with my students.  Again that encouraging attitude was a plus; she makes me feel so special as a teacher.  Mrs. Denson always comes on days I need that little push of inspiration, she does a great job.  Her spiritual attitude is great and much needed!!  She suggested that I see the movie "Waiting for Superman".  I love when she comes to observe, she was put in my life for a purpose and I´m almost sure of that!!"

"After Mrs. Denson's latest visit, I took her suggestions on how to take the assignment she observed further. I had the students use a rubric to score each other´s' Power Point presentations. I appreciate her acknowledging the work I put into create that lesson, and also her input into ways I could take it even one step further."

"After Mrs. Denson visited me last time I took some things that we talked about and applied them to my classroom. We talked about setting expectations before the lesson starts so that the students can better understand what it is we will be doing for the day."

A Word From Jennifer's Interns

"It appears I have been named first year teacher of the year.  I have to say that much of the credit goes ECAP.   I learned so much great stuff that I was able to put into practice and it has truly helped - not only me, but the students I teach.  Dr. Killian taught me things like VAD, the learning styles, and a lot of great information.  I thought about VAD when I arranged my room."

"I strongly agree that Jennifer spent adequate time with me that she supported and increased my teaching skills. Jennifer was very easy to talk to, and communicated very well."
