“Derek, Your third SIOP lesson plan and the observation were excellent. You earned 29.5/30 on the lesson plan and 60/60 on the observation. The only piece that I deducted points for on the lesson plan was the "interaction between students/among groups of students" feature of SIOP. Ms. Thomas said that this was one of the best observations she completed. Well done! It has been a pleasure to see you progress throughout the semester.” ~ Dr. Benjamin Lester
