The charts below show an analysis of the evaluations received from my classes as shown by both the CELCIS written Evaluation Form and the ICES report. I noticed that my teaching probably improved from 2013 to 2014-15 because I made changes based on the feedback I received from these evaluations. After hearing from the elementary students in 2013, I spoke more slowly, repeated questions, took time for each student, and made sure every student felt valued and was engaged.
