April 12, 2013 Dear Madam or Sir, I am writing this letter to recommend Allison Millea for a teaching position.

I am currently Allisons Supervising Teacher from Drake University. There are many reasons why I believe Allison would be an asset to your teaching staff. She demonstrates excellent leadership skills in the classroom. She is well organized and paces lessons appropriately. While she shows a calm and professional demeanor, she also motivates and communicates well with students. She appears to be very comfortable with students and they respond well to her directions and suggestions. I have observed Allison in a high school reading/English position at Valley High School in West Des Moines Public Schools. I have been impressed with the detailed lesson plans and innovative strategies Allison is currently implementing with her students. She is a very reflective teacher in that she continually examines her teaching practices in order to help students learn. If you wish to speak with me about Allisons qualifications, please feel free to call me at 515-255-4354. Cordially,

Diane Stilley 3930 Grand Ave. #406 Des Moines, IA 50312
