To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to recommend Sandee Richardson as a TESOL/TESL/TEFL teacher.

Sandee and I met through the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Collaborative, a grant-funded project that brought together staff from Alabama Public Television, Arkansas Educational Television Network, Kentucky Educational Television, and Maryland Public Television to create online resources for middle grades mathematics teachers and students. Sandee was hired on a contract basis to serve as Alabama’s project director; I served in a parallel capacity for Kentucky.. Through face-to-face meetings, bimonthly telephone conferences, and extensive email communications, I got to know Sandee very well, both as an educator and as an individual. She is highly motivated, intelligent, hardworking, and creative in her approach to serving the needs of students. In her position at APT, Sandee successfully collaborated with AMSTI, the Alabama Mathematics, Science, and Technology Initiative, and with other Alabama teachers and educational stakeholders to create ProportionLand, a set of well organized, useful, and engaging resources that use science concepts to teach proportional reasoning to middle school students.

Our projects were demanding with tight deadlines, strict content and technology requirements, and adapt and succeeding at each phase of Alabama’s project.

Sandee’s background in teaching English/language arts makes her well qualified as a TESOL/TESL/TEFL teacher. Her wide-ranging intellectual curiosity about all subject areas and her sympathetic and open mind would serve her well in any classroom. Add to that her patience, sense of humor, dedication to students, flexibility, and knowledge of pedagogy, and I think you will find that she will be an outstanding addition to your faculty.

Sincerely,
