Letter of Recommendation for Teacher

Baltag Viorica has been my student teacher at our University English

classes during the period of the 2003-2005 year. She came well prepared
to her student teaching experience. Prior to being my student teacher, she
was a tutor for several weeks for some of my needier students after
school. In this capacity she was consistent, compassionate and reliable.
While student teachers are required to spend one hundred hours for field
study, she had clocked well over double that amount prior to her student
teaching experience with me further evidencing her dedication to the
teaching profession. This enthusiasm and philosophy of hard work did not
wane after she began her formal student teaching in earnest.
When she began her student teaching, it was immediately
evident that Miss Baltag had a love for the profession and a sincere interest
in and concern for the students. She was willing to come up with creative
lessons that proved to be interesting and educationally effectiive.
Furthermore, she spent many hours with an individual student working on
reading strategies on her own time to help one of my less capable readers.
She has approached any and all aspects of the work involved in
teaching my students with eager anticipation. In fact, in my 5 years of
teaching I have never experienced any student teacher who was better
prepared and who worked harder than Miss Baltag. Her lessons have
been thought out and professional. She was always willing to adjust any
parts of her lessons she thought could be improved.
Her classroom management style seemed closer to that of a
veteran teacher than to the student teacher she is. Her maturity in dealing
with the students was evident and, as a result, commanded real respect
from the students.
On a practical level, all the papers, quizzes and tests Miss B.
assigned to the students were immediately graded and returned to the
students. She maintained a level of efficiency that was fueled by her
obvious work ethic and her professional concern for her students
progress. No time was wasted in her class.
While teaching in my classroom she took the initiative to create
many colorful, creative and effective bulletin boards relating to the work
being done and the units studied in class. She became ever more efficient
in her teaching, keeping lists of students who owed work on the board as
well as announcing the homework assigned each day.
Overall, as the chairman of our English department, I would not
hesitate to offer Miss B. a teaching position in our district were we to have
an opening. Wherever she decides to accept a teaching position, I know
with all confidence that she will do an outstanding job and become an asset
to the school district fortunate enough to receive her application for

employment
