Ee ll mi UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, URBAN INSTITUTE FOR TEACHER EDUCATION February 26, 2017 1721 Campus Center Ore i Re: Jaymi Reddout To Whom It May Concern: Jaymi Reddout was an elementary teaching intern in Granite School District for the 2016-17 school year. | had the privilege of serving as Jaymi's, intern supervisor during that time. | was also her instructor for several undergraduate courses during this period. This recommendation is based on my extensive experience with Ms. Reddout. Jaymi has developed her skills and is an excellent teacher. Ms. Reddout is solid in classroom management and runs an effective learning environment Many of her strategies have become so automatic that she creates a very respectful and comfortable atmosphere. Coupled with these organizational strategies is Jaymi's wonderful rapport with students. | have observed how her second grade students connect with her and follow her directions easily. | also appreciated how appropriate Jaymi was in her approach to teaching 7-8 year- olds. There is always an atmosphere of mutual respect. Jaymi is a hard worker. Throughout our year of interaction, Jaymi has never failed to complete requirements that | have given her. She is very reflective and asks very solid questions to analyze every situation. Jaymi Reddout is such a positive person and it is always uplifting to be in her presence. Because of this, she is an excellent member of the team and works well with other individuals to accomplish their goals. This year she has also exhibited excellent skills for working with parents. It has been a great pleasure to assist Jaymi Reddout in developing her skills as an elementary teacher. | consider Ms. Reddout a solid teacher with exceptional skills, many beyond the expected level of a first year teacher. | give her my highest recommendation Sincerely, Bl nb —— Ye John H.
