Lindsay Lombo Peter Woodbury School 180 County Road Bedford, NH 03110 lombol@sau25.net October, 2016 To Whom It May Concern: | am fortunate to have worked as a cooperating teacher for Ashley Prindle during her student teaching experience at Peter Woodbury School. During her months at Peter Woodbury, | got to know Ashley as a teacher and as a person, and she has many qualities that she will carry with her into a school setting. Ashley is willing to take on any challenge put in front of her, and pushes herself to do well. During her student teaching experience, Ashley willingly took on lessons and units that she knew would be difficult for her. She prepared herself ahead of time, asking appropriate questions, writing specific plans and objectives, and studying the materials given to her, as well as finding materials of her own, in order to teach these lessons and units well, Ashley is very self aware as well. She continually reflects on how activities ae going, and strives to find ways to do better. She takes the feedback she is given and works to improve. With students, Ashley is caring. She got to know the students in my class and made time to learn about their families and their extracurricular activities. The students enjoyed Ashley's presence in the classroom and it is obvious that she cares about them as well. While in my classroom, Ashley had plenty of opportunities to work with many staff members. She volunteered to help out with other staff members and was active in our PLC meetings. She worked closely with the rest of the fourth grade team and the special educator. Ashley is an intelligent and hard working educator. Based on my experiences with Ashley, | would recommend her for any teaching position. Sincerely, J f Kurctse, A fol Lindsay Lombo
