Letter Of Recommendation Ms

March 27, 2019 To Whom It May Concern: Lily Harding has been a student teacher in my first grade classroom at Dunlap Grade School, for the past nine weeks. She has been a part of our classroom team made up of 20 students including three students with IEPs, one ESL student, one Tier 3 student, and two Tier 2 students. Lily has been responsible for teaching all subjects. Ms. Harding will have had the experience of teaching according to the Dunlap First Grade Curriculum which correlates to the Illinois Learning Standards. During this time she has planned and implemented the daily classwork, quizzes and unit tests. Lily has successfully demonstrated her awareness of different learning styles and has adequately adjusted assignments to meet the varied needs of students. Her units were thoroughly prepared and implemented. She was successful in monitoring and adjusting to various schedule changes in order to complete the required learning opportunities during her time of teaching. Lily’s experiences in math and language arts have included teaching very challenging units on place value and multi-syllabic words. This involved teaching the basic elements and how they work within the larger concepts of math and reading. She completed these units developing her own activities including engaging daily activities, independent quick checks, and successfully culminating with the common formative assessment given to all first graders. Lily possesses a positive and enthusiastic personality. She has developed a great rapport with each of the students. The most needy of students comfortably relate to her even during moments of stress. Lily is well-dressed, articulate, and always ready with a smile and a kind word. I have found that other team members have accepted her as a strong working member of our team and she has had a positive working relationship with each one of them, as well as with other staff members. I am confident that Ms. Harding will be an asset to any staff that she works with. She is confident, knowledgeable, and has the skills of a seasoned teacher. I believe that she will continue to grow and become even more effective as a teacher with further opportunities.
