Lynnwood Elementary School @ Regina Divo, Schenectady, NY 12308 (518) 355-7030 FAK (616) 386-3087 wunw guildertandschools.org ‘Supercenter Pence April 19, 2024 ‘To Whom It May Concern: Itis with great pleasure that | recommend Kerry McKeown for a position with your school district. Kerry was a student teacher in Mrs. Jen Armiin’s second grade classroom at Lynnwood Elementary School from January 25, 2021-March 19, 2021. Throughout her time at Lynnwood | noted Kerry to be professional and enthusiastic at all times, Her interactions with staff were extremely positive and I consistently observed tremendous rapport with the students in her classroom. COVID presented challenges and despite this Kerry remained flexible and creative, doing whatever was necessary to ensure students received the best classroom experience. Kerry was fortunate to work with an outstanding cooperating teacher and learned a great deal about planning, management, and content during the time she was at Lynnwood. Mrs. Armlin often commented how impressed she was with Kerry and thought she would be an excellent candidate for a teaching position in the future, It was poignant to see students express their disappointment when Kerry had to leave for her following student teaching placement. As a school administrator for over 15 years { have had many opportunities to see student teaching candidates. | would wholeheartedly recommend that Kerry be given an opportunity to demonstrate her capability for a position in your district, Please do not hesitate to contact me if | can be of any further assistance. Sincerely yours, Barbara Goldstein Interim Principal Lynnwood Elementary School “EMPOWERING ALL STUDENTS TO SUCCEED IN THE 21*" CENTURY”. ———.
