To Whom It May Concern,
Brittany Hearn has completed her clinical experience in my second grade classroom at Erial Elementary
School. She has spent the past 15 weeks observing, assisting, and teaching a diverse group of students.
Our class consists of nineteen students, with six receiving Resource Room services. Ms. Hearn has
shown awareness of different learning styles and has varied instruction to meet the needs of the
students.
Ms. Hearn was responsible for instruction in LAL, Writing, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. She
had the opportunity to teach small groups as well as whole class. She worked with the children to
develop their writing skills. She created a unit of poetry, culminating with a project based on The Giving
Tree. She worked diligently with the students to build their math skills to achieve our core-curriculum
standards and goals.
Brittany performed all her teaching duties in a responsible and dependable manner. She worked
cooperatively with me taking suggestions and modifying lessons to motivate the students. It was evident
that she has the ability to establish a daily routine and manage classroom behavior.
Ms. Hearn possesses a positive personality and enjoys working with the students. Her rapport with the
children encouraged their enthusiasm for learning.
I believe Ms. Hearn will continue to grow as an effective teacher as she is given the opportunity.
If you would like any further information, feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Frances Stranix
