Mrs. Lucas is innovative in her teaching style. We have asked her to present technology that she has used in her classroom at district workshops. She is always willing to share and help other teachers. Mrs. Lucas has a very calm demeanor speaking slowly and clearly. I believe that she gets along well with everyone. She is well-organized. She treats the students with amazing calmness, and never makes anyone feel belittled. Even when the situation is difficult, she does not get angry or raise her voice. She handles each situation with much thought, care and firmness. She narrates the good that she wants to see in the classroom keeping the atmosphere nurturing and positive.

Rachel Lucas was my co-worker for many years. She has always produced high quality instruction that is dynamic and relevant. The students have a great rapport with Mrs. Lucas and her classroom management is impeccable. Mrs. Lucas is also constantly renewing herself by using the latest technology in and out of the classroom. She is a team player and gets along well with others, and she is always professional. Mrs. Lucas would be a great asset for your school.
