As on experienced teacher, it wos refreshing to watch the energy and dedication she brought with her on a daily basis. | was awed by her maturity and positivity, which became inspirational to those around her In the summer of 2018, Clare attended training in Lucy Calkins Reader's ond Writer's Workshop. She was able to digest the rigorous and comprehensive program and execute it well in her classroom. Without any training, she wos able to tackle Eureka Math and successfully implemented the curriculum with her students. Clare also received training in Global Education. She inspired her students to think globally and expand their experiences outside of Santa Ana by ‘studying different countries and cultures throughout the school year. Clare excelled at supporting high achieving students just as much as she supported those performing below grade level by providing leveled texts, grophic orgonizers ‘and ulilizing online tools that offered differentiation, Clore was eager to collaborate with colleagues, especially those teachers who were a grade level below or above her class, She was receptive to feedback ond villing to think outside the box when faced with a challenging or struggling student, Clore understood the importance of developing positive relationships with her students. She modeled positive self-talk and communication, She encouraged students to speak their minds ond communicate their feelings. Clare's dedication to her students ond her professional growth stood out the ‘most. feel very fortunate to have worked with Clore this past school year and feel confident that she will be a great asset to any school or organization, Sincerely, Christina Stevenson 4th Grade Teacher and Mentor
