    To Whom it May Concern:

    I am writing to recommend Mr. Grant Gifford for a teaching position. I had the
    privilege of serving as Mr. Gifford’s field instructor for the 2017-2018 school year
    at Kenwood Academy in Chicago Public Schools. As his field instructor, I had the
    opportunity to observe Mr. Gifford’s teaching practice, including both “in the
    moment” instruction and reflecting on planning and assessment practices. Through
    this experience, I was most impressed with Mr. Gifford’s ability to reflect on his
    practice, to take ownership of his lessons in order to engage students in a variety of
    activity types, and to successfully adapt to the dynamic atmosphere that teaching for
    CPS provided.

    Mr. Gifford assumed all responsibilities of a teacher in his placement including


    submitting lesson plans, developing assessments, data analysis, attending staff
    meetings, and communicating with parents. Mr. Gifford’s lessons particularly struck
    me as innovative and he was particularly adept at making connections between the
    curriculum and the “real world” for students. Additionally, throughout his
    placement, Mr. Gifford sought professional development opportunities whenever
    possible. This included taking full advantage of peer groups, school-level offerings,
    and his courses at MSU. It is noteworthy that his willingness to take on the
    additional challenges presented by an internship in a challenging urban environment
    that required him to remotely attend classes and interact with his instructors speaks
    to Mr. Gifford’s dedication and enthusiasm.

    Education If you would like to talk additionally about Mr. Gifford as a prospective candidate
    for your position please do not hesitate to contact me at (810) 650-3014 or
