Re: Reference letter for Christina Georgopoulos

To: Whom it may concern
The purpose of this letter is to support the teaching application for Christina Georgopoulos. I
had the pleasant opportunity to supervise Christina during her student teaching experience at
North Polk West Elementary in Polk City, Iowa, and Prairie Trail Elementary in Ankeny, Iowa.
During the period from August 25
th
thru December 5
th
of 2014 she worked with pre-school and
kindergarten children. I would like to support her teaching application by elaborating on her
skills.
During Christinas student teaching experience I conducted several formal observations based
on the Iowa Teaching Standards. I observed Christina exhibit positive expectations for all
students, establish good classroom management techniques and design lessons for student
mastery. The range of abilities and disabilities was vast. However, while serving those students
she addressed each students needs with tenacity and creativity. Christina worked closely with
her mentors which resulted in success in the classroom settings.
Christina Georgopouloss flexibility in working with students, teachers, administration and the
public earned her an enviable reputation as a young educator who truly cares about education
and people. Without question, she has the academic preparation, the dedication and the
people skills to become a competent teacher in any educational program.
I believe that Christina Georgopoulos would be an excellent candidate for a teaching position.
She possesses the highest level of professional commitment and competency in her work with
students and colleagues.
For all these reasons, I am pleased to recommend Christina Georgopoulos. Please feel free to
contact me at 515-314-7990 if I can be of further assistance.

Sincerely,

Denny Warren
DRAKE University Supervisor of Student Teaching
