This letter offers my full support of Rick Simms as he applies for a teaching position.
He completed a practicum in our diverse Kindergarten learning community that
included refugees, English language learners, and IPPs requiring the full time support
of an Education Assistant.
Thoughtful, creative, and reflective in his lesson design, Rick regularly sought
feedback and redesigned his lessons as he observed the impact of his teaching on
individual student learning. He used a variety of instructional strategies and adapted
his delivery to support the learning goals targeted, the energy and mood of the class,
time constraints, and needs of individual learners.
Rick was professional in all of his interactions with parents, colleagues, diversity
workers, and other allied professionals providing specialized services (occupational
therapists, speech therapists, speech language pathologists).
Please contact me at 403 208 4122 you require additional information. Rick is a strong
team player who will be an asset to any school community!
