Dear Jamie,
It is hard for me to articulate my thoughts about your portfolio

defense presentation

today, You

were truly you, today. You were teaching 'who you are', in a way that was powerful,
meaningful, and passionate. I so appreciate your authenticity and transparency in your
reflective practice as a learner and educator. It is something that can't be taught and you are so
incredibly gifted at it.
Your articulation of your connection to Christian Science was so inspiring; I left your
presentation feeling baptized. I was so reaffirmed in my own beliefs about teaching and
learning through your words and felt moved in a way that I haven't felt in a while.
Thank you for being a part of this learning community

and pushing me to better at my teacher

craft. You are truly impressive, and VERY SPECIAL.

J,
I,

t,
It is hard to attach a grade to something like this, but you will notice that you received an

I'

"Excellent" in every category on the rubric.

~I
I

Nicely done.

I wonder what you learned about yourself from the comment bubbles people filled out.

J, ,.

\.

Thank you again for being a YOU!

Nikki
