Jessica has been part of our special education team this year. As a member of the team that participated in her interview and now coworker, I can say I have been impressed with Jessica from day one. She impressed me first with her enthusiasm and knowledge of core principles of a special educator. She had well developed ideas on behavior management, developing lessons and communication with parents. Jessica did not strike me as a new first year teacher. She is confident and knowledgeable, but open to learning from others. Having worked with Jessica for a year, I feel she is a definite asset to our team. She has a great style of teaching, new, innovative ideas and a surplus of energy. She has carried a full caseload all year and has handled the responsibilities like a professional. Jessica is very much a team player and the students love her style of teaching. She makes learning entertaining and exciting. Boring isn't in her repertoire. She creates songs and movements with math concepts, reads books that through visuals engage all learners and is very adept at handling/conducting an IEP meeting. I have taught with quite a few new teachers and supervised several. Jessica far exceeds my expectations. Having taught resource before, I can't say enough about how well I think she has handled the heavy workload and still been upbeat, energetic and enterprising in providing exciting, challenging lessons. I would welcome her on my team any day.
