Dear Educator;
!

This letter is written to recommend Megan Thompson for your

consideration as an elementary or middle school teacher. Meg is a fifth
year student in the school of education at MSU enrolled in a year-long
internship which will be completed May 1. She is assigned as a 4th grade
teacher at Burton Elementary School in Grand Rapids.

The year-long internship includes several informal and formal

observations. Student performance is assessed across eight teaching
standards. The teacher certification process at MSU is one of the most
rigorous, highly regarded programs in the country.

Miss Thompson is progressing successfully toward completion of all

requirements. She is performing above expected levels in every aspect of
the internship. It is without hesitation that I advance her candidacy for
your serious consideration.
