That again is a slippery indicator, but one thing I look for is if the teacher appears to care. It's in the body language and I've seen good indications with this group. When it comes to writing, the children get down to business, usually right on the floor and the trainees are right there with them, sometimes taking their hands and guiding them through the letters. Having the children write is usually the time teachers go and take their break, but here I see an invested interest, curiosity and compassion. It looks good.
