To
Whom
It
May
Concern:
It
gives
me
great
pleasure
to
recommend
Jessica
Burton
for
an
Art
Educator
position
at
your
school.
Over
the
year,
I
worked
with
Jessica
as
she
prepared
for
her
student
teaching
position
at
my
high
school;
more
specifically,
over
the
last
several
weeks,
she
fulfilled
her
clinical
hours
working
with
my
Art
classes.
I
was
impressed
by
Jessicas
character,
hard
work,
creativity,
and
professional
demeanor.
Jessica
is
a
unique
candidate.
Before
making
a
career
change
into
art
education,
she
had
valuable
professional
experience
outside
of
education.
Her
experience
as
an
on-site
central
service
center
supervisor
for
United
Airlines
Corporate
Real-Estate
division
clearly
gave
her
a
solid
organizational
leadership
base
and
understanding
of
managing
several
tasks
at
once,
as
well
as
dealing
with
a
multitude
of
personalitiesalways
a
plus
when
working
with
teenagers!
Working
with
Jessica
has
been
one
of
the
best
student
teacher
experiences
that
I
have
had.
She
knows
how
to
balance
when
to
step
up
and
when
to
step
aside.
She
can
walk
into
a
situation
and
quickly
figure
out
how
she
can
assist
without
needing
to
be
prompted.
Her
interactions
with
staff
have
been
professional,
pleasant,
and
smooth.
She
has
been
able
to
acclimate
herself
to
every
environment,
from
the
classroom
to
the
teachers
lounge
to
department
meetings.
In
the
classroom,
Jessicas
delightful
sense
of
humor,
positive
attitude,
and
real
world
experience
translates
well.
She
makes
students
feel
comfortable
while
challenging
them
to
do
their
best.
Jessicas
caring
personality
shines
through
as
she
tries
to
connect
on
a
personal
level
with
students
and
use
information
about
students
to
create
lessons
that
engage
them
on
a
personal
level.
I
want
to
add,
too,
that
Jessica
has
done
remarkable
work
with
our
students
with
special
needs,
including
introducing
the
use
of
a
special
font
for
students
with
dyslexia.
This
speaks
to
her
ability
to
differentiate
and
also
her
willingness
to
explore
new
resources.
Jessica
enthusiastically
collaborated
with
me
to
build
a
studio-based
classroom
by
assisting
in
implementing
stations
for
the
first
time.
This
effort
included
making
sample
pieces
and
demonstrating
use
of
materials
to
students.
She
shared
her
real
life
art
experiences
to
help
inspire
the
young
artists
in
my
school
and
was
able
to
easily
communicate
with
students
at
all
levels,
ages,
and
backgrounds.
Jessica
deeply
values
the
importance
of
art
education,
which
is
evident
via
her
involvement
with
the
Illinois
Art
Education
Association
and
the
National
Art
Education
Association.
She
has
established
herself
in
leadership
roles
for
both
organizations.
Jessica
will
be
an
excellent
art
educator,
and
any
school
would
be
lucky
to
have
her
on
their
team.
Her
passion
for
art
and
concern
for
students
achievement
in
the
arts
will
enhance
any
art
department.
She
will
be
a
valuable
asset
to
your
faculty,
a
caring
educator
for
your
school
community,
and
an
outstanding
art
educator
for
your
students.

Ms.
