To Whom It May Concern:

It is my sincere pleasure to recommend Emily Nybo for a teaching position at Escondido Union High School
District for the 2017-2018 school year and beyond. I have known Emily for the past two years in my role as
English Learner Specialist in the Division of Educational Services. I first met her during the summer of 2015
when she was invited to be a part of the team to make instructional decisions in our ELD Curriculum Alignment
work. From the very first day I met Emily, she has demonstrated the highest level of excellence in her teaching
role in both English and English Language Development.

Emily has demonstrated expertise and thoughtful decision-making for meaningful teaching and learning. This is
evidenced by her well-planned lessons and her genuine love for her students learning and growth. She designs
just the right level of scaffolds yet provides challenging and inspiring opportunities for learning. Whether it be
with the Writing Tasks embedded in the curriculum or with CELDT test preparation, Emily is carefully
designing meaningful learning tasks that put student learning as the highest priority. Her lessons always focus
on skill development and have been shared as a course-alike team focus. Her students succeed because of her
excellent guidance and care. We need more teachers like Emily.

I have also had the privilege to witness Emily in multiple settings with various teams related to her teaching
role. She has been a part of curriculum writing teams, Data Reflection Sessions with her course-alike teams and
as a participant in professional learning settings at district-sponsored events and CABE. Any district would be
extremely fortunate to have Emily as a teacher representative. She has a humble, kind and unassuming
demeanor, yet her enthusiasm and sincerity for her students is absolutely inspiring. Although she is relatively
new to the district, her colleagues have much to learn from her. She asks the right questions related to her
practice and is reflective of her curriculum and instructional decisions. Every contribution reveals her
intelligence and willingness to learn from others. In short, she is an example for all.

Finally, Emily is passionate about education and a consummate professional. She communicates professionally
and effectively and is able to manage her time wisely. Her enthusiasm is infectious and students, staff and
administration all value what she has brought to the district. Her attitude towards her students, colleagues and
teaching responsibilities is exactly what we want in a member of our learning community.

Emily is a rising star. She demonstrates an extraordinary capacity to effectively touch the lives of our students
and everyone around her and I wholeheartedly recommend Emily to continue to be a part of our educational
community without any reservations whatsoever.

Sincerely,

Janet Hwang
Content Specialist, English Learner
