Words of Encouragement

My principle observed me last semester. It was very nerve racking to have my boss watching my every move, but in the end his comments were very encouraging; especially in a time when my job is threatened by budget. Here is what he said:

Mrs. Pellegrin is to be commended for being an excellent teacher with high expectations for her students. The standards, agenda and objectives are clearly displayed on the white board in her classroom. Her calm nature and care for her students makes her classroom a safe place to learn. She connects personally with each student during each class period. Her lessons are creative and designed to meet the needs of students. Her students enjoy her as a teacher and the classes she teaches. She utilizes a variety of instructional strategies and encourages participation from all students. Positive reinforcement is used with her students to encourage them to achieve their goals. She builds confidence in her students that they can be successful. Mrs. Pellegrin constantly circulates around the room to check for student understanding of the lesson. She excels in lesson design and is to the commended for developing a webpage to communicate her course orientation, assignments, tests and other information about her classes.

Mrs. Pellegrin is a valued member of out faculty.
