To Whom It May Concern:

It is my pleasure to write a letter of reference for Ms. Jessica Deren, with whom I co-taught as an
Inclusion Resource Teacher during her tenure at Jefferson Elementary School. Having seen the
skills Ms. Deren possesses over these five years, she has always performed her absolute best and
truly has a passion for teaching.
Her excellent command over the subject and the ability to address the needs of each student
makes her an outstanding professional in the field of teaching. She works tirelessly to inspire and
connect with her students to perform to a very high level. She exhibits excellent communication
skills and high organization skills in the classroom. Her honesty and reliability ensures that she is
always collaborating with other faculty members, and more importantly, looked up to by her
students throughout her career at Jefferson Elementary.
I wish Ms. Deren all the best on the path she chooses. With all of the qualities that she possesses,
she will definitely be an asset to your school.
