___________________________________________________________________
To: Whom it May Concern
From: my former Assist. Principal
Date: April 18, 2007

I am writing to you to recommend that you consider Cindy Taylor for any Intervention Specialist positions you may have available. Ms. Taylor has worked for us for three years, and has proven herself to be a positive member of our faculty.

Ms. Taylor has served as an LD Tutor in her time her at ( the school ). She typically works individually with students to help them achieve the goals set forth on their IEP. Ms. Taylor is very diligent about communicating with the regular classroom education staff regarding her students, and always follows through on any requests with the parents of her students as well, always keeping them informed of their student's progress. Ms. Taylor is an eager learner, constantly seeking out up to date research and best practices, and how they may assist her in her teaching.

In the three years that I have known Ms. Taylor, I have seen her grow and improve as a teacher. She is willing to seek out advice from both administration and vetern teachers. I know that she has a passion for teaching that is deeply rooted. She loves working with children, and always makes decisions based on what is best for them.

Assist. Principal.

To Whom It May Concern:

I have known and worked with Cindy Taylor for three years at ( name of school ). Cindy was employed by ( an educational service center ) as a tutor. She was responsible for the seventh and eighth grade tutoring students.

During her first year she went through the Pathwise program, in which I was her mentor. She did wonderfully and apssed the Praxis after her first observation in the spring. Cindy worked hard to continually plan creatively positive learning experiences for her students.

During her second year in the ( name of city) system she began going directly into the regular classroom with the students instead of only doing the pull out program, She increased her amount of time in the regular classes this yeawr. She continues to work with the individual students on specific skills during study hall time. Cindy is responsible for her studnet's IEPs and MFE contributions along with parent contacts.

Cindy truly cares for her students making their educational experiences as positive as possible. I have enjoyed working with her through the years. She will be missed greatly as an educator and friend.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

( a dear friend and former collegue)

This is from one of my favorite kids. He made a huge impact on the way I see things and learning disabilities.

To Whom It May Concern:

Ms. Cindy Taylor has been one of the nicest teachers I have ever known.

I'm sure if you accept her to work at your school your students will like her and you won't regret it. She will listen to what the students say and doesn't yell at them in front of everyone and embarrass them when they didn't do their homework.

She does everything she can to help me with things like missing homework. She understands just how hard life can be for someone like me.

This is from a genuine person and student. Great and genuine person and student. She is true to herself and she says what she thinks but nicely. She is one of the most polite kids I ever worked with.

To Whom It May Concern,

When I first met Ms. Taylor I thought that she was just another teacher but she spent time learning my name and trying to figure out what I was having trouble in and why.

To understand what I am doing, she goes to class with me and takes notes so when I ask her about my homework she can help me better. Kids need Ms. Taylor because gives kids that need help another way to learn. She explains things better than some teachers I've had. She breaks things down and alwys gives all the kids she helps good reasons as to why something is the way it is.

I am happy every time I go into her class, and to prove she helps, I went from all F's to almost all C's.

( a beautiful person and student )

I must say, she gave me too much credit for the grade increase.
