Courtney taught grades 9-12 while teaching United States History, American Government, and Current Events. Courtney was a welcome addition to the classroom for the fall semester. She showed fantastic organizational skills and a desire to constantly improve her teaching skills. She built positive relationships with the students and the faculty and staff of Baxter Springs High School. She showed a willingness to help out wherever needed without question. Courtney is extremely knowledgeable in her content area and is always looking forward to learning more Courtney is more than willing to go the “extra mile” with students to ensure their success. She is driven to not only improve herself, but constantly looking for ways to motivate and help her students. If you choose to hire Courtney you will not be disappointed and will be getting an outstanding new teacher with a bright future. She is going to be an excellent social studies teacher, a strong advocate for students, a supportive colleague, and an asset to your school’s community. I send my highest recommendation for a beginning teacher and have absolutely no reservations about her abilities or character. If I may be of any further assistance on his behalf, please don't hesitate to contact me Thank you, fae Zo Tim Yeargain Baxter Springs High School Social Studies/Cooperating Teacher yeargat@usd508,org 620-856-3366
