My name is Marina MacArthur. I have been the Grade 1
teacher at St. Joseph School in Coaldale, Alberta for 25 years.
I had the privilege of having Elizabeth Pascal as my
professional semester 1 student last year. Elizabeth was very eager about teaching. She was always very well planned and her class activities were fun and engaging. Her lessons were well timed and she achieved clear introductions, middles and closures to her lessons. She learned that she needed to anticipate student behavior to predict possible issues.
Elizabeth was very enthusiastic from day one and her
enthusiasm was contagious. She was always open to my suggestions as an experienced teacher but also helped me with new and fresh ideas for my teaching. She was always positive and friendly. She showed initiative in all areas and never shied away from rolling up her sleeves and helping out wherever she was needed. She worked extremely well with all the staff at our school. She was kind and caring to all her students and colleagues.
I wish Elizabeth all the best in her teaching career.
