To whom it may concern:
I was Jordan Campbells student teaching supervisor during her 2014 student teaching
assignment. Jordan has completed sixteen weeks of student teaching under my supervision in a
self-contained high school special education classroom at Monroe Jr./Sr. High School. Jordan
taught lessons in whole group, small group, and conferenced individually with students as well.
I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for her.
During Ms. Campbells student teaching experience, she was highly motivated to learn as much
as she could and perform to her best capacities. She asked for feedback and accepted
constructive criticism with maturity. It should be noted that she came in earlier in the year than
required to gain as much experience as she could. Her classroom had academic IEP learners.
She was involved in helping them achieve and become closer to being on grade level. In
conclusion, she has had an extremely well-rounded experience!
Jordan has many strengths, but her main strength from my observations was her ability to come
in, gradually take over the classroom, and do it as though she was a seasoned veteran. She is
what I would term a natural. She always seemed sincerely interested in the learners progress
and presented new material in a way that captured their attention. She did a great job of
recognizing when a student needed special assistance or attention. Jordan showed up each day
with a smile on her face and ready to teach the learners.
In summary, Jordan displayed the qualities that make a successful teacher. She is dependable,
motivated, and in tune with the needs of her learners. She works well with colleagues and
administration and is able to learn from those around her. I am extremely proud of her and
pleased to write a letter of recommendation for her. Please feel free to contact me should you
need any additional information.
Sincerely,
Dr. Shirley Lee
