To Whom It May Concern: 
 
 
I am writing this letter of recommendation for ​Madison Foshee​who is applying for an elementary teaching position. 
 
 
I have had the privilege of knowing Madison this year in my capacity as a University of Arkansas College of Education 
and Health Professions MAT mentor teacher. Madison has an outstanding academic record at the U of A and 
demonstrated excellence in my classroom as an intern. She taught a diverse group of students who face a variety of 
personal and learning challenges in general education settings.  
 
 
During her time in my classroom, she planned and implemented in-class learning activities, weekly formative 
assessments to check for understanding and led targeted small group instruction. Madison successfully demonstrated 
her awareness of different learning styles and adequately adjusted assignments to meet the varied needs of students. 
Her lessons were creative, and thoroughly prepared and implemented. She was successful in monitoring and adjusting 
to various schedule changes in order to complete lessons during her time of teaching. Madison has a very positive and 
enthusiastic personality. She has a great rapport with the students with whom she worked. She was professional in her 
appearance, articulate, responsible and trustworthy. Other collaborative team members accepted her as a professional, 
capable contributor and as a colleague. 
 
 
I am confident that Madison will be an asset to any staff with which she works. She is confident, knowledgeable, and 
has the skills to be an effective teacher. I believe that she will continue to grow and become even more effective as a 
teacher with further opportunities. I believe she will be an excellent fit for an elementary teaching position based on 
her superior organization skills, maturity, professionalism and reliability. I highly recommend her for a teaching 
position with any district to which she applies. If additional information is needed, please contact me at
