To Whom It May Concern:

It is an absolute honor to recommend Hannah Booth for an
elementary teaching position. Hannah worked directly under my
supervision during her placement as a student teacher, during the
fall of 2019, in the first grade at Jonestown Elementary in
Jonestown, PA. Whether it was leading small groups in reading
and math, administering weekly tests, or engaging students in
whole group instruction, Hannah was an effective and enthusiastic
teacher.

Hannah was a fantastic asset to my classroom, as she showed no

hesitation to get involved with the students. It was clear to me
that working with students came very naturally to her and she
developed a wonderful rapport with all of them. Hannah was
consistently poised, kind, respectful, and encouraging as she
learned the individual needs of each student in my classroom. She
organized a weekly dog therapy reading program that encouraged
and helped build confidence of many students in our classroom.

Hannah was always receptive to suggestions and direction. She

reflected on her own teaching, recognizing parts of lessons that
she would keep or adjust. Her lessons were well-developed and
well-executed, which were a result of her hard work and natural
teaching ability. Hannah’s lessons were challenging with various
activities and different teaching strategies. She used a wide
variety of manipulatives in her math lessons, which were engaging
and fun!

Hannah was always timely, dependable and professional. She

worked extremely well with other members of our first-grade
team and was always willing to step in as needed to take on
additional responsibilities. Hannah is conscientious, organized, and
responsible, and will be a benefit to any school system. I highly
and whole-heartedly recommend Hannah for a teaching position.

Sincerely,

Carol Koehler
