Ihave had the pleasure of working with Ms. Devlin as a colleague and supervisor forthe past year as he Principal ‘Ms. Devin is passionate, hard working educator who wants nothing more than todo what's best for her students. Ms. Devlin recently finished her first year of teaching, and as with many other firs year teachers, she grew immensely throughout the year as she honed her skills, pedagogy, and confidence. 1 had the opportunity to observe Ms. Devlin multiple times, both formally and informally. I was also abe to coach her instructionally multiple times. Through those experiences, I could tell that Ms. Devlin went into teaching to make a difference inthe lives of her kids, many of those ‘coming from a low-socio-economic background and learning English as a Second Language. Ms. Devlin also was very collaborative, often working closely with er colleagues, bouncing ideas off of one another, as well asco-planning tasks and units. Ms. Devlin has been trained and received ongoing coaching in Reader's and Writer's Workshop, using Lucy Calkins’ model of instruction. These practices have helped significantly increase literacy achievement levels across ‘the board, including in Ms. Devlin’s class {In conclusion, I believe Ms. Clare Devin is a quality educator. I recommend Ms. Devlin to you and believe that she will continue to flourish into a transformative teacher. Ifyou have any {questions or would like to speak in more depth, you may contact me at (714) 988-2719, Sincerely, Collin Felch, BAD.
