From the very first class, it was evident that Jennifer had a strong passion for literacy and a deep understanding of literacy learning theories and practices. Her dedication and active participation as both a student and a teacher intern were remarkable.

This semester, Jennifer focused on developing an individual curriculum plan for Tabor elementary students, specifically on the topic of newspapers. While it is yet to be graded, I have high expectations for her project based on the exceptional quality of her work throughout the year. I anticipate that her curriculum plan will be both theoretically sound and practical in design, with clear organization and well-written content. In addition to her curriculum and assessment projects, Jennifer completed two research-based newsletters on language/reading/writing development or instruction. Her newsletters on invented spelling and nonfiction studies in the primary grades were extensively researched and presented in an engaging style. She provided valuable insights into the history, controversies, and implications for classroom practice related to these topics. What truly impressed me about Jennifer was her active engagement and leadership skills in class activities. She consistently took charge or worked collaboratively to empower her peers in small group settings. Jennifer demonstrated a deep understanding of her classmates' needs while actively contributing to class discussions. Her initiative even led her to volunteer to present on curriculum materials from the National Geographic Society, showcasing her exceptional public speaking skills and knowledge. Overall, Jennifer's intelligence, knowledge, confidence, and passion for learning and growth make her one of the most outstanding students I have encountered in my classes at Teachers College's Curriculum and Teaching Department. I have no doubt that she will excel as a Douglas County Nanny and positively impact the lives of the children she cares for.”
