It is with deep pride that I write Helen Norrell’s recommendation letter. I have known Mrs. Norrell since October 2015, she is a master teacher of the highest caliber and always comes across as professional, passionate, discerning, and organized. I worked closely with Mrs. Norrell at Founders Classical Academy of Dallas where she was an essential staff member, who made a significant contribution to the school by attaining her master’s in ESL and implementing ESL strategies in her classes. Mrs. Norrell co-authored the ESL intervention platform with me. It is used by Responsive Education Solutions which melded English Language Proficiency Standards and the Response to Intervention model. She provided the skeletal framework for the tiers, their uses, and their implementation with different student groups. Mrs. Norrell proved herself as a campus leader and shouldered many tasks such as mentoring teachers, serving as a reading and phonics interventionist in third and fifth grade, and designing a campus strategic battle plan for tutoring students to meet state standards. Her extensive background in crisis management, curriculum development, along with strategic planning propelled her to administration. Mrs. Norrell's teaching experience combined with her keen ability to analyze situations from many perspectives and interpersonal skills allows her to empower students and staff alike. Helen has an arsenal of effective assessment methods and organizes and relates information in an understandable format to administration, colleagues, students, and families. She also excels at the use of the Microsoft Office Suite, grant writing for money and gifts in kind, and editing. Helen is extremely organized making her the ideal candidate for an administrative assistant. She is diligent, determined, and has an eye for details. These qualities along with her ability to communicate both orally and in writing serve her well. She is a master of handling multiple tasks, both small and large projects, simultaneously, as well as critical thinking, planning, and managing conflicts quietly and efficiently. Mrs. Norrell has a wealth of knowledge and is continuously researching ways to improve her craft. More than that, she is a woman of character with strong integrity. Helen is attentive, resourceful, and thorough. She has strong presentation skills and provides staff development and presents at conferences. In addition to a Masters in ESL, she has recently added a full Special Education certification to her list of accomplishments, making her a valued treasure. Hiring Helen Norrell will be the best decision you can make! She will prove herself to be the worthiest candidate. I recommend Helen without reservation and would be pleased to further discuss Mrs. Norrell's qualifications and how she could serve your organization, so please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Valerie Peake, M.Ed. BE/ESL Assist Director

Mrs. Norrell is a great asset to me and our school. I am a first year teacher and I learned a lot by listening to her suggestions and incorporating them into my classroom. She is a wealth of information and is always willing to help others. If I ever have a question or need help finding ideas for my class, she is always there and has the answers I am looking for. She is a great friend and someone I can rely on and I am grateful to know, especially as a first year teacher.
