I have known Ms Hartranft for two years. She was a student in my methods classes. She was the most dedicated student with her ability to plan and deliver a lesson that was engaging, empowering, and creative. She understands the necessity of writing a learning focused plan that embraces the learning styles of children while differentiating the instruction for critical thinking at alll levels. During her practicum semester, Mary participated in our professional development plan that afforded her the opportunity to teach for eight weeks before student teaching. Mary was an excellent student. Her natural teaching ability was evident during planning, instruction, and management. She is the ultimate professional. This professional commitment is now evident in student teaching. She has immersed herself in the culture of the school by attending data meetings and in service planning days. She is a team player and works very well with her peers. As a former principal, I highly recommend Ms Hartranft for a teaching position. Please contact me at 484-772-5827 if you have any questions. Sincerely, ‘Sheila G. Simyak Instructor
