To Whom It May Concern:

It is my absolute pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for Danielle

Alexander. Danielle is my student teacher from Oregon State University for
the 2016 2017 school year. She is teaching one section of Algebra to
advanced 7th and 8th graders.

Danielle is without a doubt one of the most impressive student teachers with
whom I have had the pleasure of mentoring. She is completely dedicated to
meeting the needs of all of her students. Danielle is constantly professional.
She goes above and beyond the minimum requirements for her course work.
In addition, she has strong classroom management skills.

Danielle is having an extremely successful student teaching experience. She

developed a well-organized and creative mini-unit over Exponential Growth
and Decay. She incorporated many higher-order thinking problems. Danielle
really took the time to get to know her students. The lessons she developed
were creative and kept all students engaged.

Danielle is patient, approachable, and kind. Students were immediately

comfortable working with her. I feel that says a great deal about her
character.

I highly recommend Danielle Alexander for any middle or high school math
position. I am certain her motivation and dedication will make her an
excellent addition to any school.

Please feel free to contact me for any other additional information at
