EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY December 10, 2013 To whom it may concern, Ihave been so impressed with the work Lisa Youness completed during her student teaching! I would like to recommend her to you as a candidate for an elementary teaching position. I worked as her Student teaching supervisor during the 2013 fall term. From the earliest stages of her student teaching, Ms. Youness presented herself as a professional and worked with her colleagues in that capacity. She worked closely with the community and families. She understands the core concepts and big ideas within the subject area she teaches. Using state and district standards, she provided many concrete learning experiences in literacy, math, science and social studies that resulted in student learning. One of her strengths is maximizing the use of class time spent in learning experiences. She understands and values the importance of peer relationships in enhancing a climate of learning. Ms. Youness possesses skills and dispositions that add to her teaching strength and depth. She is organized, reliable, enthusiastic and caring. I would love having my own child in her room. Please feel free to contact me if additional information is needed.
