Assistant Principal Josh Ostin! Dean of Students, March 15, 2017 To whom it may concern, It is a pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Alicia Freeman. Ms. Freeman has been working as a student-teacher in a 7th grade English Language Arts and AVID classroom at Fesler Junior High School, in the Santa Maria-Bonita School District, for 2016-2017 school year. Ms. Freeman holds herself to a high standard, She has worked hard to learn the best practices needed to maintain an efficient seventh grade classroom, She articulates and demonstrates her understanding of the Common Core Standards and demonstrates effective teaching strategies. She is familiar of the ELA content and has learned some of the AVID techniques which allows her to integrate all modalities so each student learns. Ms. Freeman collaborates and plans with staff members to ensure her students are well prepared. Fesler Junior High School also feels teachers need support students so they are well rounded and learn more than the core curriculum. Ms. Freeman supports this and has volunteered her time to help out with our after school ELA Scholar Academy. Ms, Freeman takes advantage of opportunities for professional growth. She has participated in all staff meetings, professional learning, and department meeting to increase her knowledge in her curricular area and school procedures, There are many challenges facing education today. It is crucial that we have employees that are committed to ensuring that all students have access to a quality education. Ms. Freeman is the type of person who is dedicated and will learn the skills to make that happen. 1 recommend Ms, Freeman for a teaching position at any institution that will consider her for employment. I wish her good luck in her new endeavors. Sincerely, Agiwile bhi Anjahette Winckler, Fesler Junior High School, Principal
