This semester she blossomed as a teacher truly committed to special needs students. She engages in their lives nurturing them as learners and individu In this program, the emotional needs and behaviors dominated the attention and preparation of the teachers. Kristin showed the consistent patience and poise that autistic children need. T observed her move through the cycle of behaviors that quickly escalate without an identifiable trigger. Kristin worked with the other staff in the room insuring the safety and security of the child. The ‘documentation of behaviors and events was essential and Kristin maintained the essential records. In this program, behavioral outbursts are not an out for the academic work. Kristin showed ineredible skills in working with an out of control child and refocusing them to return fo a calm and more productive child. The lessons were short and needed to be very hands on. Kristin continually provided engaging activates for the students. Kristin worked so well with the team of people in the program. There were several teacher and para pro staff who appreciated the skills Kristin brought with her. Asan observer, the team looked ‘as though they all worked together for a long time. Kristin demonstrated great communication and respect for all those she worked with. ‘There are so many qualities Kristin possesses that will contribute to your school community in such a significant way. Without a doubt she is self motivated, reflective with her teaching, and a lifelong learner. ‘Without reservation, I highly recommend you hire Kristin to join your school community.
