Letter of reference re: Kyle Masson

Dear Sir or Madam,

As a University Consultant for the University of Lethbridge, I supervised Kyle

Masson in the spring semester of 2018. Kyle was completing his Professional
Semester 3 internship at St. Pat’s Fine Arts School in a Grade 5 classroom,
teaching math, language PE and health. He also taught PE to a Grade 6 class.

Kyle was an excellent practicum student, exhibiting professional attributes in

many areas. He was well planned, and understood how to translate the Program of
Studies into activities that promoted student learning and engagement. He took a
great deal of pride in engaging students and his lesson planning always reflected
this.
Kyle’s ability to relate to his students was perhaps his greatest strength. He set a
high standard for students in both academic effort and behavior, and they
responded positively. As well as teaching, Kyle took the time to coach the
basketball team at his school. Parents, staff and students appreciated his expertise
and willingness to work with these young people. He was an excellent role model.
Kyle was a reflective teacher and was willingly to try new approaches and change
direction as needed. His flexibility was refreshing, as was his ability to take
feedback.
Kyle was well liked by staff and students, and I have no doubt he made a positive
impression at St. Pat’s. I would have no hesitation recommending Kyle for
employment as a teacher. Kyle is professional, competent and personable, and
would be an asset on any school staff.

Sincerely,
Carole Goodreau
University Consultant, U of Lethbridge
