Developing Learners and Leaders for the 21st Century
To Whom It May Concern: The Arborwood Elementary Campus has had the privilege of having Ms. Alysha Bossie as a student teacher in one of our third grade classrooms during the Fall of 2012. As the assistant principal at Arborwood, it has been such a pleasure to watch Alysha grow in her understanding of best practice instruction, develop a confidence in her teaching work with children, and create meaningful relationships with her students. On November 26th, I had the opportunity of observing Alysha teach a Word Study lesson, and begin a Reader's Workshop lesson. As students worked through the Word Study lesson, it was evident that she understood the importance of establishing and maintaining procedures and expectations. Because the children all knew the procedure for what "Day 1" of Word Study looked like, they were able to focus on the learning at hand and the patterns in the words they were studying. Time did not need to be spent explaining to students the "what to do's" of the lesson; instead, students' time was spent analyzing, questioning and exploring the relationships between and within words. Alysha's Reader's Workshop lesson showcased her strong understanding of howto use the workshop model as an instructional framework. The children were each given a newspaper to explore for evidence of non-fiction text features. Anchor charts were hung in the classroom that highlighted all that the class had discovered about non-fiction text features. Students were very capable of noticing, naming and explaining these text features as they examined the newspapers. Throughout her teaching, Alysha asked questions that nudged children to think at higher levels (What pattern did you notice? What else do you see? Will that always work? What do you know that will help you?). She understands how important it is to let students be responsible for their learning, to construct their own understandings in ways that make sense to them, and to let them feel the success that comes with meaningful learning. Alysha demonstrates strong confidence in her work with children. She is always very calm, firm and caring. There is mutual respect between Alysha and her students. She knows how important it is to get to know who her students are as young people who have strengths, interests and hopes that make them unique as learners. A final trait about Alysha that I admire is her willingness to learn and her continuous desire to improve her teaching. At her request, the above observation was unplanned, and I came in unanncounced. Alysha's main purpose for having me come in and observe was so that she could receive feedback about how to better her teaching. Alysha is a professional in every sense. I have enjoyed watching her grow into a wonderful teacher during her short time at Arborwood. I have every confidence that she will continue in her own learning and understanding of best practice instruction, and will make it her careerlong goal to search for the best ways to meet the individual needs of all of her students. Sincerely, Mrs. Terry Joseph Assistant Principal, Arborwood Elementary Campus
