Sean Kirkland It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Anna Wilson. I
Superintendent have had the privilege of working with Anna throughout the 2019-2020 school year.
She completed her student teaching experience within my 5th grade reading and

Treasurer social studies classroom at Southeast Elementary. She taught two 90-minute
blocks of reading using the Wonders curriculum and online resources with fidelity.
Jamie Kemats She also taught two 45-minute blocks of social studies using both online and
Director of
Curriculum & textbook resources. One of the reading classes and one of the social studies
Assessment classes were inclusion settings, and she did a phenomenal job co-teaching with a
Kristy Erb
special education teacher and paraprofessional in order to meet the needs of every
Director of Special student in the classroom. She proved her ability to multitask by implementing
Education accommodations and modifications to many students within the same class.
During the time that we worked together, I observed Anna to be a punctual,
