During this time, I have observed Peter’s commitment to the students and school community at 721Q John F. Kennedy Jr. School. Peter is an exceptional teacher. His strength is in his dedication to his students, across multiple platforms and through creative learning experiences. While collaborating with Mr. Rice, I have noticed how he takes each student's abilities and preferences into account when planning instruction, He gave access to English Language Learners with different proficiency levels to the curriculum through the use of technology, hands-on activities, visuals, and sentence strips. While he is knowledgeable in his practice, he continuously reached out to his colleagues and attended professional workshops to develop his skills as an educator and challenge his students. In addition, Peter had a positive relationship with the parents of the students sitting in his classroom and made sure to be in constant communication, in order to build a strong and supportive home-school connection. Peter Rice is a supportive and driven educator who prioritizes the students. He is dedicated to the growth of all members of our school community and embraces the mission of our school. 1 highly recommend Peter Rice for tenure this year. He is a great asset to our organization.
