To Whom It May Concern,

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Brent Cheatham.

Mr. Cheatham was a memorable student in my course at Arizona State University.
Academically, Brent demonstrated exemplary marks as well as a distinct passion for
becoming a secondary teacher. In my course, he developed pedagogical skills transferable
to 21st century classrooms, including technology infused lessons, project-based learning
curricula, and various interactive methods for engaging students in their learning.

One of the defining characteristics that stood out to me about Brent is his personable nature
and ability to work with all of those around him. As a future teacher, I believe that he will
bring strong communication skills and an innate ability to collaborate with his peers and
colleagues. Furthermore, I am confident that his charisma will allow him to connect with
students and build strong relationships to promote their success.

In summary, I strongly recommend Mr. Brent Cheatham for any position of his choice and
am confident that he will exceed all expectations.

Sincerely,

Dr. Christopher Smudde Ed.D.
