To Whom It May Concern,
Miss Carlie Capponi has been a student teacher in my Learning Support classroom at H. W. Good
Elementary School for seven weeks. Miss Capponi worked with students from kindergarten through fourth
grade who demonstrated a wide range of ability levels. Students with IEPs presented a wide variety of
disability categories. She serviced these students using a variety of methods including one-on-one and
small group instruction. She utilized general education curriculum materials, alternative curriculum
materials, direct instruction techniques, and supplemental hands-on materials. She serviced students
through pull-out learning support, resource support, and large group inclusion.
Through her inclusive experiences, Miss Capponi developed the ability to work with different
teachers in different settings. She was able to change her teaching style to fit the setting as well as the
needs of the students. Miss Capponi demonstrated consistent flexibility throughout all experiences while
balancing a difficult and busy schedule.
Miss Capponi worked with the MacMillian McGraw Hill Treasures Reading Curriculum, the Harcourt
Math Curriculm, and the Reading Mastery Curriculum. Miss Capponi did a wonderful job utilizing
curriculum materials as well as finding alternative materials to work with struggling students on
curriculum skills. Miss Capponi found appropriate and engaging supplemental materials appropriate for
the varying needs of students at all age levels and disability categories.
Miss Capponi consistently exhibited enthusiasm, initiative, and a positive attitude. During her
experience in my room, I was unexpectedly absent for a whole week. Miss Capponi demonstrated
incredible initiative while I was gone. She not only taught her lessons for the week, but she covered my
entire schedule by teaching the lessons I had planned as well. She took responsibility seamlessly and
showed the characteristics of a true professional. She was able to think on her feet and develop
classroom management strategies as well as student motivational techniques. Miss Capponi handled this
unexpected situation with grace and independence. She went out of her way to ensure that the students
remained calm, on-task, and engaged in a familiar routine. I was highly impressed with her efforts!
Miss Capponi possesses many of the qualities of an effective teacher, and many of these qualities
come very naturally to her. She was consistently professional and maintained a positive attitude. Miss
Capponi has demonstrated great initiative, and she never ceased to amaze and impress me. Miss
Capponi developed a strong rapport with students at all age levels, and mutual respect was evident
throughout her lessons. Miss Capponi excelled in encouraging students by providing specific positive
reinforcement and remaining calm while she delivered clear behavioral corrections. Miss Capponi
maintained consistent student engagement through her use of age-appropriate student motivation and
humor. Miss Capponi appropriately modified and adapted instruction and materials to reach students at
all ability levels. Additionally, she accepted constructive criticism and was constantly working to become
a better teacher.
I am confident that Miss Carlie Capponi will be a wonderful asset in any educational setting. She
has many of the characteristics of a successful teacher, and she will continue to grow and become more
effective with further opportunities. I believe that Miss Carlie Capponi will be a fantastic teacher. Please
