Carol Dawson South Range Elementary School Special Education K-4 330-549-5578 Cdawson@si rans To Whom It May Concern: Shayna Allshouse very successfully completed her student teaching at South Range Elementary School. She spent 17 weeks in my special education classroom observing, assisting and teaching. My classroom consists of cognitively disabled students and several multiple disability students. All academics are taught in the resource room. One student is autistic, non verbal and learning to use a communication device, which offers a challenge to even a very experienced teacher! Miss Allshouse had an excellent rapport with the students. Her warm personality, creativity and enthusiasm were noticed by students and staff. Shayna’s willingness. to take suggestions, modify lessons and experiment with new strategies demonstrated her motivation ana love for teaching. She had many diverse student challenges in my room. Shayna effectively communicated with students, aides, parents and teachers. She was able to participate in several IEP meetings. Students responded positively to lessons that Miss Allshouse presented. Her lessons were presented well above average. Shayna’s ability to manage daily routines and classroom discipline were exemplary. Miss Allshouse has tremendous initiative, a desire to continue to learn and effective teaching strategies, I would strongly encourage you to interview and give consideration to this prospective teacher. She would be an asset to any school. Sincerely, Carel Aare Carol Dawson
