years at _________

well as supervisor to

work students. I hope my
perspective will be
helpful to you as you
evaluate this
exceptional candidate.

she organized a summer
conference outside of
_________ for teenagers
interested in
communication skills.
During the course of the
week, _______ presented
material with such ease
and humor that she set
the tone for the entire
workshop. Her creative
ideas for presentations
and activities were
inventive and
entertaining; they were
also astonishingly
effective.
With participants from a
variety of backgrounds,
there was often
conflict, and
occasionally
confrontation. While
setting limits, _______
managed to respond
consistently with
respect and compassion.
The experience had a

workshops
During the time I have
known ________, she has
distinguished herself as

energetic pioneer in the

have enormous respect
for her teaching and
leadership skills, and
have been pleased to
work with her on many
occasions.
Two years ago,
__________ was invited
by _________ University
Counseling Center to
consult to our Peer
Counseling program. I
was eager to have such
an extraordinary teacher
help with the training
of the students and the
development of the
program. Her skills,
which were so apparent
in Lithuania, were
equally impressive in
the United States. She
was an eager,
enthusiastic teacher who
was greatly admired by
the Hopkins students.
She led group
discussions and
facilitated role-plays
with great skill, and
also helped in the
development of outreach
programs. She is
particularly gifted at
identifying students'
needs, encouraging their

during that year, and
she became a close
friend and colleague
during the visit.
I know of _________'s
continued interest in
programs related to
social competence and
emotional development.
She has instituted many
impressive programs for
school children and
families, and it has
been an honor to consult
with her on some of
these projects . I have
the greatest admiration
for her work.
Your program of study
sounds ideally suited to
________'s needs and
talents. She will be
coming to you with the
qualities of a natural
therapist: genuineness,
warmth, compassion, and
integrity. She will also
bring her interest in
scholarly research and
program development.
Just as importantly, she
would come with an
enthusiasm for both
learning and teaching,
well as a resolute
desire to understand new
theories and ideas. It
is exciting to think of
the ways in which she
might contribute to your
program.
I urge you to carefully
consider ________ who
is, quite simply, the
most remarkable teacher
I have ever met.
Sincerely, |
