Richard Coe Walt Disney School 2323 West Orange Ave. Anaheim, CA 92804 Letter of recommendation for Mr. Michael Lawrence, March 26, 2017 To Whom It May Concern: 1am very pleased and honored to recommend Michael Lawrence for an elementary teacher position. I am fortunate to have worked with Mr. Lawrence during the 2016- 2017 school year. Mr, Lawrence taught as a member of our 6" grade team. I am the grade level chairman, and have taught grade 6 for 13 years. Mr. Lawrence instantly proved himself to be a valuable and dedicated team member. He is helpful, hard working, and conscientious about his profession. He is well liked and respected by students and staff alike. He is sure to teach the academic content to the students. | appreciate that Mr. Lawrence takes time to understand and appreciate the individual differences of every student in order to help them all reach their potential. We met daily to coordinate and plan all grade 6 curriculum and events. Mr. Lawrence worked with me as one of the two student council advisors. He was happy to volunteer extra time for this, and helped Disney school by helping to run the Student Rewards Center. His artistic ability and creative ideas were an asset to his classroom and the school in general. | also attended Outdoor Science Camp with Mr. Lawrence, where we were responsible for 90 students for a whole school week. His presence there gave the parents full confidence that their child would have a safe and productive week. Mr. Lawrence also helped to coordinate the P-E. program for grade 6, often leading 97 students in running and exercising, He volunteered to assist coaching the track team to prepare 6" grade students for the district track meet. His time and efforts were very appreciated and valuable. Icould not recommend any teacher higher. Any district or school would greatly benefit with a teacher like Mr. Lawrence. It is a pleasure working, teaching, and training with him. I recommend him without hesitation! cerely, |, Reahond 9 CR Richard Coe Grade 6 Teacher, Walt Disney School (714) 717-1045
