This is a letter of recommendation for Lindsey Kirk. I have had the opportunity to work and collaborate with Lindsey for the past five months. It has been an enriching, eye-opening and valuable experience for me. Having taught for over twenty-years, I assumed it would be my role to assist her in becoming a professional teacher. However, it has actually been a valued learning experience for me. Lindsey is well-versed in the fifth-grade curriculum, and has proposed many unique and inventive methods of presenting information. The students have been engaged at the new information theyve received. She has a good grasp on classroom management and has made excellent strides in management of large groups of students. She shows respect for her students and it is obvious that they have great respect in return. Lastly, Lindsey is dedicated and hardworking. It is apparent that she cares deeply about the success of all children. She is one of the first faculty at the school each day and usually the last to leave. She spends countless hours making sure that she is prepared for each day. Again, Ive truly enjoyed working with Ms. Kirk.
