She spends long hours working to meet the needs of my classes to ensure the students achieved the high level of success expected from them. With eager anticipation she approaches any and all aspects of the work involved in teaching students, relying on her outstanding organizational skills to enable the successfully completion of multiple tasks simultaneously, despite deadline pressures, On a practical level, even with all the demands on het time, all of the assignments for students are graded and returned in a timely manner. She maintains a level of efficiency fueled by her obvious work ethic and her professional concern for her students’ progress. Her lessons are thoughtful, thorough, creative, and professional, monitoring and adjusting as needed for students’ deficiencies. Over the semester, she has grown and leamed the value and methods of establishing policies and procedures in the classroom, managing not only the quict, non-participatory classes but also the hyper- active, borderline discipline problem classes, Although shi growing and learning to master these challenges, her management style allows her to correct student behavior in a non-confrontational manner that is effective for her. Sidney's abilities to achieve positive results in students’ learning make her an asset that will be greatly missed in my classtoom when her student teaching is completed; thus, it is with the utmost confidence that I say, she will be successful in any teaching job that she chooses to accept. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions about Sidney’s many talents (623-435-6271). Sines ~ Carol Good English imeny Chair
