To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing on behalf of Justin Grove. I hired Mr. Grove for the 2015-2016 school year to teach middle
school Religion at Mishawaka Catholic School. Mr. Grove was reliable and responsible. I found that his
genuine love of learning was a tremendous asset for the students in his classes. His broad base of
knowledge and experience as a learner, gave him a sensitivity to the learners in his classroom. He had
high expectations of his students, and of himself as well.
As a colleague, Justin Grove was an eager learner and welcomed feedback and discussions focused on
improving his performance and the learning experiences of the students. His genuine love of learning
made him an eager student. Mr. Grove was fastidious in his preparation for each class. He consistently
researched beyond the scope of the class he was presenting, thus preparing himself to address any nuances
of the content as well as encourage students to “dig deeper.”
Mr. Grove responded to all parent communication both in a timely and very thorough manner. He
encouraged parents to be involved in the classroom learning of their children. He also shared resources
with parents who were interested in further study of topics that were presented in class. He was open to
listen to any concerns or critique voiced by parent as he was most interested in growing in his professional
skills.
Mr. Grove was always supportive of administration and of his colleagues- middle school environment
requires everyone to be on the same page, and Justin attended all professional meetings and discussions
regarding his role at the middle school campus and proved to be a team player.
I am confident that Justin Grove will be an asset to any environment where he is employed.
If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Vikki Wojcik
