Even during her early years, I was impressed by her maturity and enthusiasm as my sons' primary caregiver. They have cherished memories of their time with her, indulging in play and laughter. Jennifer not only made their days enjoyable, but she also took pleasure in teaching them valuable life lessons and promoting kindness among siblings. To this day, my adult sons speak affectionately of her, and my youngest, Ben, greatly admires her. Any family fortunate enough to have Jennifer would undoubtedly benefit from her exceptional qualities and her experience as a patient and devoted teacher. I wholeheartedly endorse her outstanding judgment and aptitude in caring for children. I can only wish that I had the privilege of having her as my own nanny.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Jennifer as a student in my preservice class on reading and writing methods for elementary teachers at Teachers College. She has proven herself to be exceptional with children of all ages and would excel as a nanny in McLean County. From our very first class together, I noticed Jennifer's strong interest in literacy and her deep understanding of literacy learning theories and practices. She consistently demonstrated her dedication and active participation as both a student and a teacher intern. Jennifer's written work for both semesters of the course has been outstanding. Her weekly synthesis papers, which drew from reading assignments, her teaching experiences, and class activities, were of exceptional quality. She also completed a major assessment project that showcased her meticulous analysis and familiarity with informal assessment procedures such as running records, anecdotal records, conference note taking, and interview forms. Her project was incredibly well-organized and her interpretations were specific and clear. Currently, Jennifer is working on an individual curriculum plan for Gulf Port elementary students with a focus on newspapers. Although it has not yet been graded, based on the overall quality of her work this year, I anticipate that her project will be theoretically sound, practical in design, and expertly written and organized. In addition to her curriculum and assessment projects, Jennifer was assigned to write two research-based newsletters on topics related to language/reading/writing development or instruction. Her first newsletter explored invented spelling and was thoroughly researched and written in an engaging style that was both informative and thought-provoking. Her second newsletter focused on nonfiction studies in the primary grades and provided essential information along with a compelling argument for the importance of teaching nonfiction to younger students. Once again, Jennifer's research was thorough and her writing style was captivating. In class, Jennifer's enthusiasm and contributions were truly remarkable. She consistently took the lead in small group activities and consciously worked to involve her peers in leadership roles as well. She demonstrated great sensitivity towards her classmates while actively and thoughtfully engaging in class discussions. Jennifer even volunteered to do presentations on curriculum materials from the National Geographic Society, impressing the class with her knowledge and confident speaking abilities. Her intelligence, knowledge, confidence, and dedication to continued growth make Jennifer one of the most exceptional students I have encountered in the Curriculum and Teaching Department at Teachers College.”

“Having worked with numerous aspiring and inexperienced teachers over the past twelve years, either as a cooperating teacher, university supervisor, or university professor, I can confidently say that Jennifer is one of the most thoughtful and brilliant novices I have had the pleasure of working with. Although my acquaintance with Jenny spans just one year, in which I served as her professor for a year-long core foundations course in elementary education, there is no doubt in my mind about her unwavering dedication to teaching and her commitment to providing an excellent and equitable education to all children. The pre-service elementary education program at Teachers College, Columbia University, is designed to thoroughly prepare future educators with a critical and socially conscious approach. Jenny clearly possesses the qualities of a thoughtful individual who has the potential to become an exceptional teacher. She achieved an A grade for both semesters, a noteworthy accomplishment in a program of this caliber. Jenny is an incredibly capable individual who demonstrates the sophisticated intellectual capacity and ideology necessary to foster a high-standard inclusive classroom. In addition to being her core curriculum and theory professor for a full year, I had the privilege of observing Jenny in action whilst she was teaching. She invited me to her student teaching placement for additional feedback, and I thoroughly enjoyed the morning I spent observing her teach, interact with her students, and engage in a detailed discussion on her subsequent actions after the students went to music class. Jenny views her role as a facilitator of her students' lifelong learning development, and she designs lessons that are not only captivating within the classroom but also personally relevant and authentic to her students' lives. I found her lesson to be exceedingly innovative and accessible to each and every student in her fourth-grade classroom. When discussing her students, Jenny radiates genuine enthusiasm and overwhelming affection, qualities that will undoubtedly shine through in her role as a McLean County Nanny. This sentiment is evident in all of her written assignments as well. One of the most demanding aspects of our program involves challenging our students to recognize, examine, and reassess their values, biases, and assumptions regarding diversity, equity, and student learning. Many find this aspect to be intellectually and emotionally taxing, but Jenny has fully embraced it. Furthermore, all of Jenny's papers were exceptionally well-crafted, insightful, and consistently among the top grades in the class. Her command of written language is strong and will serve her well as an elementary school teacher. Moreover, her written tasks demonstrate her understanding that her own growth as a teacher is an ongoing process that requires reflection and dedication throughout her career. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge Jenny's active participation in class and our personal interactions. During large group discussions, she contributes stimulating comments and asks pertinent questions of her classmates and myself. In small group discussions, I have observed her ability to collaborate effectively with her peers and assume a leadership role in conversations. It is clear that she is highly regarded by her peers. Jenny's positive outlook and energetic demeanor reflect her appreciation for individuals and their diverse perspectives, making others naturally drawn to her. On a personal level, I have thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with Jenny. She frequently visits my office hours, providing ample opportunities for me to get to know her on both personal and professional levels. She has sought my professional advice on teaching multiple times, skillfully incorporating my ideas into her practice and then returning to discuss her experiences with me as a means of furthering her growth. I consider this to be one of Jenny's most impressive qualities. It signifies her openness to seeking out and incorporating alternative ideas that inform her own development as an educator. Her passion for education and teaching is evident through her energy and eagerness to explore new techniques and expand her professional knowledge. We have spent many hours engaging in discussions on critical educational topics, and I have found her perspective to be refreshing and insightful. I eagerly anticipate the coming years, during which our relationship will continue to evolve and flourish into one of close collegial collaboration. Jenny is a fierce advocate for her students and embodies everything that is just and good in the world. She is an extraordinary young teacher who will deeply impact the lives of our students for years to come!”
