Victoria is a dedicated professional who prizes relationships with students and colleagues and is passionate about her work as a Spanish teacher. As department chair, I worked closely with Victoria in our World Languages Department. Victoria is a true team player who thrives on collaboration. In our department, she was always the first person to reach out to colleagues to share ideas and resources. She is consistently generous with her time. Despite her busy schedule, she is always willing to help out a colleague who needs assistance of any kind. She is as comfortable providing technical support as she is discussing curriculum. Victoria is equally committed to developing strong and caring relationships with her students. She has made this a pillar of her approach to working with students. She believes strongly in the idea that she should first build a solid relationship with her students and then use that as the foundation for her work in educating them. Victoria is an incredibly hard worker who is committed to self improvement. She consistently seeks out ways to improve her practice and actively works to inspire the same attitude in her colleagues. Whenever Victoria finds a promising workshop or way to expand her professional practice knowledge, she invites a colleague to join her so that she has someone to learn with. She loves to engage in professional discussions and welcomes the chance to speak with those with differing perspectives. Victoria’s life-long commitment to learning makes her a role model for her students, and her devotion to sharing what she learns makes her a natural leader among her peers. Victoria is a giving and collaborative professional who backs up her passion for language teaching with hard work. Her enthusiasm and dedication would make her an asset to any team.

I am writing this recommendation for Victoria Ferris. I have been a science teacher for 26 years and serve as our School Improvement Chair. Most of my interaction with Victoria was during professional learning planning and sessions. Victoria consistently displayed selflessness and an innate desire to support the growth of others. One example was during our efforts to adjust grading policies building-wide in an effort to increase educational equity. The work is perhaps the most challenging endeavor for a learning community. The work was predictably divisive. Throughout, Victoria was skillful and consistent in communication, was an advocate that displayed empathy for others, and creative in her planning to support the work's progress. Victoria enlisted her students to collect and analyze data pertaining to grading which greatly increased effective clarity for them and staff building-wide. I hope in this brief letter I have described a professional who is passionate, empathetic, driven, and committed to doing the right thing. I am confident that Victoria will be as much a benefit to any organization as she was to our learning community. Sincerely, Craig Sucher Science Teacher Clayton High School
