Today I asked Mr. R how he was evaluated by the principal and how he prepares to be observed. He said that he is evaluated by his principal by being observed by one class and generally the principal does not stay the entire class period. At this point in his career he does not really prepare to be observed because he is comfortable with his teaching style and classroom management techniques.

When getting the students attention Mr. R generally just walks to the front of the class, either by the white board or the smartboard and just begins to speak loudly. This gets the students attention because this is not normal behavior and generally Mr. R is very soft spoken.
