To
Whom
This
May
Concern:
I
am
writing
this
letter
in
strong
support
of
Danielle
Schwartzs
application
for
a
special
education
teaching
position
in
your
district.
As
a
principal,
I
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
Danielle
and
observing
her
practice
with
middle
school
students.
I
have
consistently
maintained
that
she
is
one
of
the
best
special
education
teachers
in
the
business.
Danielle
knows
her
students
well
and
works
to
forge
strong
relationships
with
them.
She
truly
embodies
a
growth
mindset,
believes
that
all
students
can
succeed,
and
holds
all
students
to
high
expectations.
Danielle
works
hard
to
design
and
collaborate
on
lessons
with
multiple
entry
points,
scaffolds
and
extensions
to
meet
the
needs
of
all
learners.
In
her
ICT
class,
students
can
be
observed
working
in
small
groups
on
a
specific
skill
or
standard
that
needs
remediation.
Danielle
plans
with
student
outcomes
in
mind-
grouping
students
strategically
and
deploying
herself
to
meet
the
outcomes
of
the
lesson.
One
of
Danielles
strengths
is
being
able
to
listen
and
observe
her
students
to
quietly
assess
where
they
are
in
meeting
the
outcomes
of
the
lesson,
and
then
intervening
when
necessary
to
challenge
or
support.
All
of
this
is
not
possible
without
thoughtful
planning
and
preparation-
a
practice
that
Danielle
engages
in
consistently,
reflectively,
and
collaboratively.
In
addition
to
her
work
in
the
classroom,
Danielle
supported
teachers
as
a
Learner
Active
coach,
providing
and
designing
professional
development
to
support
teachers
in
their
practice
and
to
integrate
technology
as
a
tool
for
engagement
and
assessment.
Danielle
is
student-centered
in
her
practice
and
her
thinking.
She
is
a
wonderful
addition
and
resource
to
any
staff.
I
have
said
repeatedly
that
Danielle
is
a
practitioner
that
I
would
welcome
teaching
my
own
children.
She
is
a
learner,
an
active
participant,
and
contributor
in
the
community.
Please
do
not
hesitate
to
reach
out
to
me
with
any
additional
questions.
Sincerely,
Alison
Angrisani

of
School
Renewal
