Intern+Evaluation

Professionalism Here is my student intern evaluation from the Newburgh Performing Arts Academy’s TAP (The Afterschool Program). This was presented to me by my site director and my internship coordinator: Miles Sandler and Andrea Llin. The written comments are the director’s words and qualify my professionalism in the field.

The evaluation also contains constructive criticism and areas of growth. Overall, the evaluation showcases my dedication to teaching and my personal philosophy. I want to present myself to my students as a well-dressed, well-education man who is willing to give independence to the students and let them grow on their own, but I will not play tug-of-war for power in the classroom.

1. Strengths of Intern: Jason is very dependable, very helpful and always willing to try. He never resists constructive criticism, is a great team player and shows a lot of compassion for young people. He desires to grow and get better and consistently is developing more skills.

2. Areas for Improvement: Jason can be very cautious and unsure when assisting student one on one. He can lack a level of confidence and allow the students to run the show. He has great insight but does not always follow it. He also is somewhat dependent on direction and does not have the initiative at times to do something on his own.

3. In what areas did the intern grow? Jason has grown a great deal. He engages more with the students and really attempts to understand them. He has more command in classroom settings and takes more initiative. He is very perceptive and has learned to start using that in his instruction.

4. Additional Comments: Jason gave me one of the most brilliant and interesting lessons I have ever received. He is extremely bright and with his desire to understand students I believe that he could be a stellar teacher. He needs to learn how to create a relationship with his students and too understand group dynamics a little better.
