Apri l 29, 2014 To WhomIt May Concern: I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Megan Konen. Ms. Konen began the school year at Ebeling Elementary School as a student teacher in a kindergarten classroom. She, along with the teacher, created a classroomenvironment that was appropriate, and she managed her students to create an atmosphere that was safe and conducive to learning. Ms. Konen is dedicated to the task of being a successful teacher. She strives to grow in her knowledge of the curriculumand instructional strategies, and uses this information to better herself in the classroom. While Megan was serving as our student teacher, she demonstrated positive rapport with her students. She recognizes the need for both long and short range planning, and the importance of good lesson planning for student success. She is always wi l l i ng to help out at after school and evening events, and has made a connection to the Ebeling community. Since the completion of her assignment here, Ms. Konen has been called upon numerous times to fi l l other positions in our building. She is dependable, and makes herself available at short notice as well as for securing dates aheadof time.
