COLORADO STEM ACADEMY Preparing Todays Students for ie September 13,2021 To Whom it May Concern, Itis my pleasure to recommend Niki Goll for alternative licensure placement. 1 am currently the Assistant Principal at Colorado STEM Academy and I came to know Niki when I was her colleague at Hidden Lake High School. Niki distinguished herself by her passion for helping students as an exceptional member of our Educational Support Paraprofessional (ESP) staff. 1 would rank her as one of the top ESP members in supporting this group of students. Niki has excellent leadership skills and is willing to take on tasks to improve her skills as an educator. She has performed expertly as a substitute at Hidden Lake, teaching students in the Discovery Program, a highly effective character education program. Additionally, she has honed her skills in lesson planning by working with teachers to help create interactive and engaging activities for students Niki is a dedicated professional, a hard worker with an engaging personality. She always goes above and beyond in her work and truly cares about kids. One of the aspects of Niki I admire ‘most is that she is persistent in creating meaningful leaming experiences for all of our students. For example, she has coordinated in-depth and meaningful field trips for our students at all levels. Niki is unquestionably an exceptional candidate for alternative licensure placement. Niki has proven herself to have the perseverance, initiative, and intellectual creativity necessary to become an effective teacher. I would therefore highly recommend Niki Goll. If her performance at Hidden Lake and her educational studies are good indications of how she would perform as a teacher, she would be an extremely positive asset to your program, If can be of any further assistance, or provide you with any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. chard Diehl Assistant Principal 720.352.7317 rdiehl@westminsterpublicschools.org, wy * Westminster Public Schools Ph. 303-429-7836 | fx: 303-430-6465 | psimywps.org/stem Colorado STEM Academy | 7281 Irving St, Westminster, CO 80450
