To Whom It May Concern,
I have known Eugenia Ives this current 2015-2016 school year as a colleague at San Rafael High School. I am a Resource Specialist, working with Special Education students who are mainstreamed in general education courses and also receive special education services in my class. I have been in this position for 29 years. I work very closely with the general education teachers to collaborate with them on providing our shared students with the best chance for success.
I find Eugenia to be motivated, compassionate, creative and energetic teacher. Eugenia and I have worked together to find effective strategies to help our shared special education students in her English classes. Eugenia has excellent instincts and understands the needs of special education students and offers positive solutions to help the students.
Eugenia is a personal joy to work with. She has a great sense of humor and internal strength and balance that helps her with her relationships with her colleagues and her students. Eugenia has incredible problem solving skills and ability to adapt to challenging classes and a variety of teaching preps. I am impressed with Eugenia’s ability to handle a tough load with a sense of internal balance and poise. She possesses an air of inner strength and confidence that is conveyed to her students and colleagues.
I have enjoyed working with Eugenia and feel she is an excellent teacher with superior skills and intuitive insights that help her be an effective teacher with students of diverse backgrounds and ability levels. I give Eugenia my highest recommendation. Eugenia should be highly considered for any teaching position she should apply. She will be an outstanding member of the staff and a positive force in your school.
If I can be of any further assistance, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Ronald B. Newstat
