LILLIAN BAILEY April 28, 2017 To Whom It May Concern: Asa fellow educator, | am pleased to offer this Letter of Recommendation for Katelyn Anderson. | became well acquainted with Ms. Anderson incidental to my volunteering in the same classroom two days per week. Ihave observed Ms. Anderson throughout her student teacher internship in Ms. Jennifer Hayden's third grade classroom, at Edward Chittum Elementary School, where my granddaughter is a student, and quickly identified her intense love of teaching and a sincere interest in her students. Ms. Anderson's positive classroom management is indeed noteworthy and is worthy of emulation by the most senior of teachers. She has consistently earned the respect of her students which has also contributed to a successful learning environment. Ms. Anderson has displayed innovative instructional techniques, to include active learning activities, which have significantly reinforced learning for her students. One such activity centered on the Metric System which offered a high fidelity instructional model while making the work fun for the students. Her 360-degree communication style includes staff, families and students, which greatly assists in keeping all concerned well informed and better equipped to support the learning process. Ms. Anderson's professionalism, communication abilities, instructional acumen, technical competence and work ethics all combine to make her one of the top student teachers | have encountered in my 30 years in the field. She is a model of decorum and will certainly excel in any academic setting. | would welcome the opportunity to serve as a personal reference and may be reached at Sincerely, 2 lbs Lillian M. Bailey, Mada.
