To Whom It May Concern:

It is my honor and my pleasure to provide this letter of recommendation for Ms. Esther Mead.
As Ms. Mead’s Clinical Supervisor for her student teaching experience at Washington Woods
Elementary School, I’ve enjoyed watching Esther interact and grow with her students. Over the
twelve weeks of her clinical experience, Esther observed, assisted, and taught in a first-grade
classroom. Through the use of student-centered teaching and management strategies, as well as
hands-on lessons, Esther was able to connect with a diverse student body and differentiate her
instruction to meet the needs of each individual learner in her classroom.

Ms. Mead’s warm personality and rapport with students was excellent. Her subject knowledge
was outstanding. Her willingness to take suggestions, modify lessons, and experiment with new
strategies demonstrated her motivation and reflection about teaching and learning.
Ms. Mead displayed excellent communication, organization, and time management skills. She
carried out her responsibilities in a responsible and dependable manner and consistently asked to
participate in after-school activities and teacher events. She has tremendous initiative, a desire
for continuing education, and a reflective practitioner outlook. In my opinion, Ms. Mead would
be an excellent addition to your staff.

If you require any further information about Ms. Mead’s qualifications, or have any questions
about the information contained herein, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Most Respectfully,

Dr. Barbara A. Wylie
