Areas of strength:
Mr. Sheehan is an outstanding teacher. His lessons are well designed and appropriate for the age groups he has
taught. Above all other aspects, his classroom management skills are exemplary. He exhibits the skill and
experience of a seasonal professional. He is consistent in his expectations and his objectives are clear and
attainable. He is conscientious and willing to go out of his way to assist. Mr., Sheehan has also shown the
willingness to reach out to other professionals and brainstorm for the benefit of his student.
Areas in need of improvement:

Mr. Sheehan is a well-prepared teacher. His only need is the opportunity to demonstrate his skills. He only lacks
experience and that will come in time. He will be a fine and welcomed addition to any school system or staff.
