To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to recommend Abigail Sard as a candidate for a
teaching position. I have worked with her as her cooperating
teacher during her seven-week student teaching experience
at Appomattox Elementary School in Appomattox, Virginia.
While student teaching, Abigail gained experience working
with 3rd grade Math and Content material. She planned,
implemented, and assessed lessons throughout her
placement. Planning involved working with groups of
students with varied level of needs and finding creative ways
to present material.
Abigail had a good rapport with the students. Her written
and communication skills were excellent. Abigail
demonstrated the dedication needed to be a successful
teacher. She would arrive early each day and stay late, as
well as take on extra tasks to ensure that the job got done.
She was willing to take on challenges and accomplish tasks
with great initiative and a positive attitude.
If you have any further questions with regard to her
experience in my classroom, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
