Hayley 'Nybo is one of the exceptional teachers and ! am honored to write a letter of recommendation for her. As her classroom neighbor, | had the opportunity to work closely with Ms. Nybo. Her supervising instructor needed an emergency leave of absence and Ms. Nybo was left to take over under the guidance of a retired teacher. Since my classroom was close to her room, I tried to provide support as needed. This unique relationship provided much insight into the character, integrity, and professional teaching qualities of Ms. Nybo. Hayley has been an exemplary teacher. Through student care, hard work, and dedication Ms. Nybo seamlessly guided her students through the transition of teachers. She managed her class with the skill of a more seasoned teacher. She was a master of her curriculum and enthusiastically shared her expertise with the class, She has skills with a wide-range of students: language learners, special needs with IEP’s, and credit-recovery seekers in a variety of grade levels. More than one student proclaimed, “I really ike Ms. Nybo!” Hayley has impeccable character. | found her to be professional, curious, intelligent, passionate, sensitive and nonjudgmental. She is goal oriented and ‘truly one of the most genuine people | know. There is no facade; Hayley is true to her values and is without pretense. It should be apparent | respect this fine individual. | have no doubt she'll continue to excel. | truly wish that she wanted to stay in lowa so that we could hire her at Valley.
