This document contains an evaluation of a language teacher's certification. The evaluator checked boxes to indicate that the teacher is aware of concepts related to adult learning psychology and language acquisition theory. They found evidence that the teacher integrates previous learning, presents materials engagingly, considers learner needs and interests, recognizes language levels, and anticipates and plans for potential problems. In remarks, the evaluator praised the teacher's awareness of student needs, handling of psychology aspects, and clear instructions. A comparison to the original evaluation found similar overall opinions but the experienced evaluator focused more on the dossier and teacher character while this one focused more on the teacher's actions.

Remarks
SB has presented us with a reader-friendly, clearly structured dossier. Her preparation and
lesson plans are carefully executed. She made a good use of self-evaluation.
Compared to the original
My opinion was pretty much the same as the experienced teacher’s opinion. However, the
experienced teacher focused more on the dossier and in the teacher’s character
meanwhile I focused more in the way the teacher did things.
