    To Whom It May Concern:

    During the 2014 spring semester at Baldwin Wallace University, I had the pleasure of co-teaching with
    Alexandra Shaw at Normandy High School in Parma City Schools. Alex and I had the opportunity to teach four
    senior English inclusion classes together. I would like to share the highlights that influenced the way we taught
    and the great qualities that Alexandra possesses.

    Meeting Alex for the first time and learning about our placement in 12
    th
    grade British Literature was stressful
    for me. Thankfully, she was extremely knowledgeable with the secondary level English content, whereas I was
    out of my comfort zone, as all my experiences were at the elementary level. Alex reassured me that we were a
    team, teaching together and learning from one another, and I can truly say I learned a tremendous amount from
    Alex.

    Her expertise in English was demonstrated consistently by her creative, engaging and motivating lessons.
    Alexs creativity allowed her to make difficult and bland content come to life. She made the content relevant to
    the students lives by bringing in current events and journals that allowed the students to relate content to
    personal experiences. Since we began our teaching experience towards the end of the year, Alex created a
    lesson to have the students write a letter to us explaining their interests, background and future goals, that we
    used to get to know them. Alex made it a point to establish and build rapport with the students by asking how
    their weekends were, how sporting events went, etc.

    Alex was a member of the BWU track team and one of her goals is to be an English teacher and a track coach.
    During our teaching experience, Alex was offered a job to assist the Normandy track coach. She would stay
    after school a few days a week to coach the players and she supported the Normandy track team at their meets.
    Alexs dedication to being more than just an English teacher is what makes her a role model for her students in
    the classroom and on the track.

    Alex was very open to learning about differentiated instruction and how to accommodate students on IEPs.
    Alex and I had two planning periods every day, where we would create agendas and determine how to integrate
    all learning styles. Alex is an excellent team teacher, and her drive to learn about the inclusion setting will be
    beneficial for her in the future.

    Baldwin Wallace University made a wise choice in having two student teachers teach together and we were
    grateful for the opportunity. I have no doubt that Alex will be a great addition to any district with her
    knowledge of the English content, making learning relevant, establishing rapport and dedicating her life to work
    with students.


    Sincerely,



    Alicia Lambert
