Guided Response:
Since we will be spending the next five weeks together, it is important for us to build a classroom culture and get to know each other. Read your classmates’ posts and respond to at least three of your peers. Ask questions to get to know your classmates more or comment on connections between you and your classmates. You will find that you share many commonalities. So, there are three classmates so it should be three respond for each classmate. NOT ONE REPONDS
Hello everyone my name is
Mitzi McDowell
, I am the baby of a family of three, I have 2 older brothers. I am the mother of 2 wonderful children (don’t we all say that about our children), and the owner of 2 amazing dogs and band new puppies (9). We live in a small town called Saint Paul’s in North Carolina. It is definitely a country town with country stores, corn fields, cow pastures, and deer running across your yard type of town. It is enjoyable because my dogs can run freely; we can ride four wheelers, and have huge family gatherings without bothering our neighbors.
My education began right out of college; I attended a four year university Winston Salem State University. In the midst of college my mother became very ill and she was keeping my son during the time. I did drop out of school after a total of 3years to take care of her and my son. No regrets, I feel now I have more discipline, a little scared, but determined to finish what I started.
I am currently employed at Mann Hummel Purolator Filters in Fayetteville, NC. This is a filter company and we supply filters to some of the largest automobile companies worldwide. I worked in the Data Key Entry for about 1 ½ years, then moved to Traffic Department for 2 years, then worked as office support for 2 ½ years and then Customer Service department for 5years, and now I am working in the Packaging Department. It is great to see a different side of the business, I began working with the end result and now I have transitioned to the start of the process.
From this course my learning objectives are a deeper understanding of teaching methods, of the curriculum, the student, and diverse students. Also the methods of a great instructional plan for all involved. English language learners I will say are similar to what I am comfortable with. My native tongue is English, but to teach it to diverse learners may be difficult, but being a teacher is about facing the difficult and conquering. As an educator we must learn to teach diverse students, due to the diverse world we live in. There is nowhere we can go and not have to teach to one set standard of children. They all learn different, come from different backgrounds etc., therefore some form of diversity some differences great and some small.
As for my future a part of me would love to get back into the classroom, although so much is going on in North Carolina regarding teachers, teacher’s pay, classroom structure etc. I still feel good teache ...

To Whom it May Concern:
I am writing this letter in support of Emily McLaws’ application for a teaching position at your
institution. I have known Emily since August of 2016. I highly recommend you hire her as an
instructor. I believe she will make an excellent teacher.
I had the opportunity to observe Emily’s student teaching experience in the fall of 2016 at
Madison High School. Emily taught English where she exhibited extensive knowledge and
compassion for her subject. She has a great love of English and a desire for her students to
understand and succeed. This resulted in a number of positive experiences between her and
the students.
Emily communicates the importance of learning as she teaches and makes real world
connections for her students. She works hard to understand her students inside and outside the
classroom which creates a friendly and respectful environment for learning. Emily manages her
classroom in a positive way as she subtly and quietly manages student behavior.
Already an effective teacher, I believe that Emily will continue to improve. Throughout the
semester, I noted that her performance as a teacher improved with each observation. If there
was an area that needed improvement, she would address the concerns and make the
necessary changes in the classroom.
I believe that Emily will be an asset to your organization. She will add to the strength of your
faculty. She will be an excellent representative of your school and will have a positive influence
on the lives of her students. I give Emily my highest recommendation.
Please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss this letter.
Thank you for your consideration.
