Recommendation for Lisa Kirkwood as a Conscientious Educator
1. April 14, 2010
To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to recommend Lisa Kirkwood as a conscientious and devoted educator.
Lisa has been employed at Thackerville Schools for 5 years serving as an elementary
teacher for one year and our secondary science teacher for the past four years. Mrs.
Kirkwood is a confident teacher and has proven she is able to handle a variety of
situations.
During her time at Thackerville she has developed our science department into a highly
effective instructional program. Her classroom management has always been aimed at
control, while instilling a great sense of responsibility back to the student. Parents like
her for her no nonsense approach to the students, structured classroom, and her ability
to extend knowledge to a wide variety of learners. The students all respect Mrs.
Kirkwood and enjoy their time in her class.
Mrs. Kirkwood is looking to make the big jump from a classroom teacher to a school
counselor/academic advisor. I have no doubts or reservations that she will fulfill your
every expectation. She knows how to deal with parents, students, teachers,
administration, and the public. Mrs. Kirkwood has volunteered for several extra duties
and has been a valuable member on several district committees. I have watched Mrs.
Kirkwood for the past few years and have been proud to work with her and learn from
her.
I am pleased to recommend Mrs. Lisa Kirkwood as a candidate for your school. She will
be a valuable asset to your school and we will miss her at ours. If you would like
further information please contact me at 580-276-3610.
Sincerely,
Mr. Jamie D. Mitchell
Principal 7-12
