To Whom it May Concern:
I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing and working with Adam Parkinson during his time as a
student at Saint Peters University (SPU). When he was at SPU, Adam was a student in my
"Teaching Language Arts in the Elementary School" course and my "Tests and Measurements"
course. He received As in both courses.
In addition to being organized and attentive to all class assignments, Adam taught an exceptional
lesson in my class. He used various instructional and assessment techniques during all of
presentations. Also, his written work is truly outstanding. Adam was an outgoing and integral part of
my classes.
At SPU, Adam was active in many college activities and honor societies. He was a high achiever in
all he did. He served as the Vice President of the Alpha Alpha Delta Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi
-International Honor Society in Education, as well as the Vice President of Student Education
Association. He was also a member of Sigma Alpha Pi - National Society of Leadership and
Success. Additionally, he was an honored Gold Keys Recipient for the Order of the Cross Keys
Honor Society. He holds various teaching certifications, including the following:

CEAS, Elementary Education, State of New Jersey

CEAS, Middle School Mathematics, State of New Jersey
CEAS, Middle School Social Studies, State of New Jersey

In conclusion, I highly recommend Adam for employment in your school district. I believe Adam
would bring many innovative ideas to your school district. I feel these mentioned attributes
demonstrate someone with an exceptional character and dedication to teaching and learning.
Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or requests.
Thank you.
