To whom it concerns:

I have had the pleasure of mentoring Kyaria Walker for three years while she volunteer many
hours in my classroom helping to support young learners. Kyaria Walker has exhibited a wide
range of skills while volunteering in my classroom and learning more about the instructional
craft and frame work of teaching young learners.

Ms. Walker has mastered the often overwhelming task of learning and building an extensive
tool kit of strategies to help develop young learners. Kyaria’s diligence, bright mind, inquisitive
nature and unwavering commitment to helping others enabled her to achieve this success of
being a great future educator.

Ms. Walker was truly unique in her ability to empathize, establish rapport and reach a very
broad range of students from diverse backgrounds. Pam attracted a following of her peers who
purposefully sought her out because she had been helpful to them. I have rarely seen a student
cultivate these types of relationships with other students during my 15 years of professional
experience.

Ms. Walker is a good listener who also can convey information clearly and effectively to
individuals and groups. Her common sense, research and detective skills enabled her to find
and use effective teaching strategies for students on all learning levels.

As you can tell, Ms. Kyaria Walker in very high regard and therefore can confidently
recommend her for graduate study which would tap the skills referenced above. I am equally
confident that she possesses the empathy, caring nature, listening skills and intellectual
capacity to become a fine professional in the educational field.
