Miss Emily Chamot is a daily substitute in my seventh grade science classroom at North Park Junior High School. Emily is a dedicated, hard working, flexible and professional teacher who will be a tremendous asset to any school district.
While substituting, Miss Chamot goes above and beyond the plans I leave for her. She always leaves very detailed reports of what was completed in each class and how the students behaved. I always attempt to get Emily as a substitute before all others, as I feel confident that all material will be covered in an efficient manner. The students feel as if a real teacher is present when Miss Chamot substitutes and it is definitely a day of full instruction! As a wonderful ELA teacher, she adds common core enrichment and interdisciplinary elements to my science lessons!
Miss Chamot is also familiar with all technology in the room and is not afraid to use my projectors and ELMO machine to assist in presenting material to the students. Emily is also comfortable using eSchool and doing attendance through eSchool. Emily does a wonderful job at keeping the classes managed with regard to discipline. Discipline is a strength for Miss Chamot, as she is unlike many new teachers who are unsure how to handle a variety of disciplinary issues. She uses a variety of tactics to keep the students well managed and the room is always kept neat and organized and all lessons and materials left neatly for my return.
As for professionalism, Miss Chamot is top-notch. Always prompt, willing to go an extra mile, for example, checking in with our main office on off periods to see if she can help with any extra duties. Many other staff members also trust Miss Chamot as their substitute for all the reasons stated above.
It is with utmost enthusiasm that I recommend Miss Emily Chamot for an ELA position. She will be a tremendous asset to any learning community! If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (716) 417- 5096.
Sincerely yours,
Tara Linnan Seventh Grade Science Teacher North Park JHS Lockport City School District
