Angotti Letter Of Rec

March 19, 2019 To Whom It May Concern: I have had the pleasure of working with Chelsea Ansari at Community Roots Academy in Laguna Niguel, CA for the past three years. Over that time I’ve watched Ms. Ansari develop into an extremely disciplined and passionate educator. She is a strong communicator as well as a good listener. Ms. Ansari’s communication skills are evident during our weekly PLC meetings where she effectively collaborates with the team and often takes on a leadership role. She is kind and sensitive with a sense of humor that immediately puts our group at ease. One of the most endearing qualities that I’ve witnessed over the course of our professional relationship is her passion for the arts. Ms. Ansari often spearheads creative ideas, aligning them with the grade level curriculum. The outcome is that the artwork enriches her classroom environment and the lessons cross-cut between disciplines allowing her students to be inspired and engaged learners. Ms. Ansari’s classroom management skills are strong. She has systems and structured routines in place which allow the students to glide through the day using a flexible seating arrangement which seamlessly encourages student independence and self direction. It is my hope that these highlighted aspects of Ms. Ansari’s practice will give you a glimpse of the passion that she has towards her vocation as an educator. I believe that Chelsea Ansari would be an asset to any team that she joins.

Sincerely,

Irene Angotti Community Roots Academy [email protected]
