To Whom it May Concern:

I am honored to write a letter of recommendation for Ms. Theresa Wilkinson in conjunction with her
teaching application. Ms. Wilkinson is worthy of my highest recommendation serving as her
supervisor for her student teaching practicum at Saint Francis University. Ms. Wilkinson was
responsible for the day to day operations of her pre-kindergarten classroom alongside her cooperating
teacher Ms. Rebecca Romagnino. To that end, she recognizes the importance of working
collaboratively to plan for engaging instruction and to meet the needs of all of her students. I have
always been impressed with her compassion for education and her ability to create engaging learning
opportunities for her students. She is so creative!

In her pre-service teacher role, Ms. Wilkinson has shown such a willingness to step outside of her
comfort zone and get extremely comfortable in her role. She has the ability to turn the classroom
environment into a safe place for the students to learn and grow. Her classroom management skills
include positive behavior interventions and the students truly respect her. Ms. Wilkinson’s enthusiasm
for learning shows through her creativity and organizational skills. Her lessons are so engaging and
meaningful.

Ms. Wilkinson has a great personality, and she is easily understood by parents, students, and
colleagues. Additionally, she carries out responsibilities in a timely and professional manner. She has
effective communication skills and works well as a member of a team, as evidenced during her time at
Saint Francis University, and Blair County Early Learning Center.

I truly believe that Ms. Wilkinson is an excellent candidate for a teaching position at your school. She
goes above and beyond to create meaningful learning opportunities for her students. In summary, I
close this letter of recommendation as I began it; please give Ms. Theresa Wilkinson every
consideration for the position. If you have additional questions or concerns, or need further
information, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Cassie Grassmyer
