Pittsburg State University To Whom It May Concern: I’m writing in reference to Ms. Katlin Moran, Ms. Moran has been a student of mine in the Elementary Education program. She is an exceptionally well-prepared and dedicated teacher. I have been very fortunate to have Ms, Moran as a student and am excited to see the impact she will have on her future students. ‘Throughout the work that Ms. Moran completed for the courses I teach, she was asked to apply important educational concepts and understandings to deliver developmentally appropriate best practices and classroom assessments. She exhibits an excellent work ethic and critically applies her understandings in a thoughtful manner. Ms. Moran thinks carefully about the many factors and perspectives involved in a situation before responding. She is able to make connections and dive deep with her understandings in a way that many of her peers do not yet grasp. Ms. Moran is a strong team member who works collaboratively and navigates interpersonal relationships expertly. She is task oriented in individual settings and collaborative situations and able to keep her group or team focused on reaching the desired outcome or finding a feasible solution in a calm and confident manner. Her experience inside and outside the classroom speaks to her dedication as an educator. Through her work in the Elementary Education program she has had extensive experience planning and delivering instruction for students. Ms, Moran is an active member of Kappa Delta Pi, our international educational honor society, and is the president of our student KNEA group. She works at The Family Resource Center and has experience with children is private care settings. Additionally, she serves our ‘community as a volunteer for the Lord's Diner. Her insight and ability to go above and beyond shine through her everyday coursework here at Pittsburg State. Ms. Moran is a strong professional wiho has a genuine concern for students and aims to help them be successfull. She is aware and respectful of the needs of each individual and works to build positive relationships with students. I feel that any building that is lucky enough to have her will also be positively impacted. Please call or e-mail if I can provide more information or be of further assistance.
