BRADLEY UNIVERSITY April 20, 2015, To Whom It May Concern, Thad the pleasure of having Stephanie Valko as a student in several of my teacher education classes at Bradley University. I have also been her university supervisor during her student teaching assignment. Stephanie is a responsible, conscientious student who respects education and the demands of teaching. Her work for me has been excellent. Stephanie has truly demonstrated her strength as a teacher during student teaching. She was placed in a school where class management and student engagement is usually a challenge. Stephanie did an outstanding job controlling the class and keeping the students focused on their work. She collaborated well with the other second grade teachers in her building. They complimented her on her lessons and organization. Stephanie developed a warm rapport with her students and they responded well to her instruction, She has a bright, easy going personality and would definitely be a 'team player’, Itis for all of these reasons that | am writing this recommendation for Stephanie Valko. I enjoyed having her in my classes very much and know that she will be a wonderful addition to the faculty of your school. Sincerely, Pal, Vardar Karen D.
