Feedback to my ASL Teacher

Midterm Evaluation and Reflection
For a few weeks in the semester, I observed (Name) on hybrid online every Monday and Wednesday from 6 pm to 8 pm at (College) in (City). Since I am not an ASL teacher, I have to observe (Name) for my Teaching Practicum I class at the (College). She teaches ASL III for the class-based students and units lesson in the True Way program. She also has a Zoom live class every Monday, while every Tuesday, she provides feedback to the teachers, directs them on what to do, and suggests critical areas for improvement in my journey of becoming a teacher. Her instructions are thorough and constructive because they have enabled me to become a vigilant observer of (Name)’s ways of rising into a better teacher in the future. She underlines 7 Professional Disposition Qualities (PDQ), including Professional Appearance, Attendance, Professional Responsibility, Ethical Behavior, Response to Feedback, Cultural and Linguistic Diverse Awareness, and Communication Skills. Thus, it was transformative to discuss the importance of these 7 PDQ rubrics with (Name).
While observing (Name) on Zoom live, I noted that she remains polite with an admirable professional appearance. Her signing is also refined and easy for anyone to understand. She signs clearly and wants to make sure the student understands her sign language. The interactions in this platform enabled me to appreciate the value of appropriate appearance, including the dressing and accuracy in sign language. For instance, she prefers to wear a solid blouse without distracting prints or stripes. She appears tidy and natural with no visible makeup on her face, no jewelry, or long nails, demonstrating her classic nature as a woman.

As a result, she recognizes that some learners may become disadvantaged by teacher-linked traits and behaviors and desists from integrating them in her class through her simplistic yet bold and noticeable look. Her composure throughout her sessions reflected a professional and adequately prepared expert. As a result, I look forward to applying these lessons as an experienced teacher. I will prioritize an appropriate appearance characterized by nice clothes, neutral makeup, lovely nails without bright colors, and less jewelry. This approach will assist me in delivering my teaching duties excellently.
While attending (Name's) lectures, my punctuality enabled me to note an equally punctual individual. Her dedication to teaching was fascinating, considering her time discipline while delivering her lectures through the Zoom platform. Her mellow personality further showed another attractive side of this gentle expert. For instance, she makes sure every student remains satisfied with their homework and course. She cares about optimum gains for everyone, which enabled me to understand why she wants to work with motivated students to learn ASL and become an interpreter ASL teacher or another career. Training them about attendance and time management discipline, similar to a real-world job, would ensure that these students progressively improve their knowledge and skill to transform them into qualifie...
