RE: Letter of Recommendation for Brittany Bootka
To Whom This May Concern,
I wish to recommend Brittany Bootka for a special education teaching position.
Brittany has worked as a long-term substitute in two different AI classrooms in the Avondale
School District during the 2014-2015 school year. In that time, she has shown tremendous
dedication and enthusiasm, and has worked hard to learn to keep students with autism effectively
engaged. She honors their rights for inclusion, and unreservedly supports the peer-to-peer
mentoring program in our district.
Brittanys strong work ethic is obvious, as she navigates college courses for her Masters degree,
while continually developing and improving materials to make accessible the curriculum for her
students. Brittany continues to learn about the complex needs of her students, and successfully
applies evidenced based practices with fidelity.
Based on her performance and dedication in our district, I urge you to consider Brittany as a
serious candidate for any open positions for which she is qualified. She proved her skills and
strength of character under challenging circumstances, and will, no doubt, be a strong, ethical
advocate to students in your district, as well.
Please feel free to call me with any questions you have regarding Brittanys candidacy.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Meklir Wells
