Dr. Dennis Foth, U of A, Faculty of Extension (letter excerpt)
“We have been very pleased with Ms. Barry’s teaching. She has repeatedly demonstrated that she is a most capable instructor, both with respect to her command of the subject areas she teaches (non-fiction writing, editing, journal writing) and her ability to communicate her ideas. Student evaluations of her teaching have been excellent. She has proven to be a very effective, resourceful, and dependable instructor.”
Marvin Sheets, BED, BA Alberta Distance Learning Centre (letter excerpt)
Developing resources for English 10-1 & 10-2 “I value her ability to balance concern for accuracy and consistency with recognition and encouragement of the writer’s individuality. During the project, she was clearly concerned for and aware of our audience, providing criticism and suggestions to reach fifteen-year old students. …She was consistently approachable and diplomatic; her collegiality and enthusiasm made the experience pleasurable and energizing.”
Victoria Forchuck, Production Coordinator, Alberta Ed LTB (letter excerpt)
