Recommendation Letter Stephenson

Bear Road Elementary North Syracuse Central School 5590 Bear Road North Syracuse, New York 13212 [email protected] (315) 218-2400 Reference Letter for: Brianna Zinger January 23, 2019 Brianna Zinger was a student teacher in my second -grade classroom at Bear Road Elementary School in the North Syracuse School District in September 2018. She completed the first quarter of her student teaching field experience for her undergraduate work at SUNY Cortland College, under my mentorship. Her passion for teaching was evident right from the start. I was overly impressed with her desire to be a teacher. Brianna excelled in her abilities. She demonstrated many excellent professional traits and displayed above average communication skills. Her interpersonal skills were superior. Her sensitivity and open mindedness of her students was noticeable. She handled stress and unexpected changes in the daily routine without any problems. Her self- confidence, sense of humor and positive attitude came in with her every day in the classroom. I feel that Brianna will be an asset in the field of education and will make a wonderful contribution as an educator. I request her often, now that she is on the BOCES substitute call list.
