Committed to Educational Excellence Mrs, Marty Rovedatti-Jackson, Principal April 28, 2017 To Whom It May Concern Itis my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Lindsay Smith. Lindsay has been a student teacher in my first grade class at Fort Allen Elementary School. During her seven weeks in my classroom, she has worked with my twenty-throa students whose abilities and backgrounds varied greatly. Arriving early each day, Lindsay was always well prepared and organized, Thorough lesson plans that coordinated with the Pennsylvania Core Standards and Hempfield's curriculum were readily available. She spent a great deal time working with me and on her own to plan lessons that engaged the students, met their different abilities, and kept their interest. She also demonstrated a genuine concern for the students’ needs by using a variety of teaching strategies and technology. Lindsay is a very cooperative and hard worker. During her time in my classroom, she worked well with the other staff members at Fort Allen Elementary and was a team player sharing ideas with the other teachers. We worked together as a team in the Classroom to meet the needs of the students. She was always willing to take upon a new task and worked her best at the task. Lindsay is a very professional and ambitious teacher. Through daily observations and interactions, | have seen Lindsay demonstrate the personality, pedagogy, and skills of a highly effective teacher. | have been so fortunate to have Lindsay in my classroom, and any school district would benefit from Lindsay being a member of their teaching staff. | highly recommend Ms. Lindsay Smith to you. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at school at 724-850- 2501 or at home at 724-493-9245.
