To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing this letter of recommendation in support of Nicole Nudera. Miss Nudera came into my classroom
as a student teacher during the second quarter of the 2023/2024 school year, with an infectious enthusiasm for
our content area.

I am extremely confident that you will find Miss Nudera closely aligned with the candidate in which you are
seeking. She has a professional and emotional maturity that I was impressed with. Her respect of and rapport
with the students allowed her to create a learning environment that was positive, flexible, yet firm when
needed. She helped students find their strengths so that they left the classroom with a feeling of self-worth.
I was also impressed with her eye for detail, knowledge of technology, and willingness to take on the new
challenges I put forth. For example, I challenged her to collaborate with our library media specialist to facilitate
a Breakout EDU activity to accompany the color unit in Art I.

Nicole did an outstanding job creating units that scaffolded learning targets. She designed big picture
instructional presentations, taught skill builder exercises for targeted practice, used graphic organizers for
students to develop ideas and compositional design plans; crafted a creative prompt for students to
demonstrate higher level summative objectives and lastly, facilitated engaging critique activities for students to
reflect on their end results. Our content area doesn’t come with a teacher guide, and she has mastered the art
of building a unit with measurable outcomes.

I highly recommend Nicole Nudera. She has influenced me as an educator as much as our students artists at
Wrightstown High School. If I could keep her on staff with me as a fellow colleague, I would. Please feel free to
call me with any questions in her regard. You will find her to be a wonderful addition to your staff.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Jill Bailey
