To whom it may concern,

Jamie has been a student teacher in my 7

th
grade math class for the past four
months. Jamie has helped in one section of regular math, one section of inclusion
math with a co-teacher, and three sections of Pre-AP math. The unit that she
taught involved finding the surface area and volume of three dimensional shapes
with and without models. While teaching this unit she was responsible for lesson
plans, daily teaching using the common core curriculum, and discipline of all the
classes.
Jamie has shown herself to be a very competent and enthusiastic person. She
completes task on or before the due time, with swift reliable accuracy. She is
always willing to take on new assignments, working well with others in order to
finish the job. Jamie adjusts to changes well even on a moments notice.
With a degree in secondary math Jamie has a deep understanding of the math
curriculum. She uses this understanding to guide the students to a deeper
understanding of why the math works to solve problems. She has also
demonstrated the patience to reteach when needed and to adjust to the different
learning styles that are found in a classroom full of 7
th
graders.
I feel that Jamie will be an asset to the school that hires her as a teacher. She will
be that teacher that gives 110% in the classroom and at her other duties too.
