To Whom It May Concern,

It is my pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for HyunMyeong Kim, for this

teaching position.
I have known HyunMyeong since August 2014 and I am a field instructor at Michigan
State University. I had the wonderful opportunity to work directly with HyunMyeong in
Fall 2014. HyunMeong is an intern of mine in the Secondary Teacher Preparation
Program at Michigan State University.
I have observed HyunMyeong teach several times in her high school placement at
Grand Haven Area Public School District. She is very energetic, engaging, and clear in
her instruction and promotes a very supportive and positive learning environment. She
is always open to feedback and asks for constructive criticism, which shows me that
she is always trying to improve her teaching practice. Every time I observe her
teaching, I see improvements and evidence of reflection. Whenever I read over her
lesson plans, I can tell that she truly knows her students and is keeping their needs at
heart.

I think HyunMyeong would be an excellent addition as a teacher to your school. From

what I have observed of her in a teacher's role and her interactions with myself and
her colleagues, she would be an asset to your current team of teachers. Her past as a
hard working student and as a mathematics major will make her a dedicated teacher
with a wealth of knowledge. Her effective communication skills and acting as a leader
in group situations will allow her to easily interact within the school community as a
professional. Her experience as a secondary intern/teacher will help to guide her as
she leads her classroom through learning and exploring various mathematics topics.
Seeing the ease with which she led her class through the mathematics lesson she
prepared makes me have complete confidence in her abilities as a secondary teacher
at any school that she chooses to apply.
I highly recommend HyunMyeong for this wonderful opportunity. She is an exemplary
teacher and student. She is the kind of person that will be an asset, anywhere she
chooses to go.
If you need any additional information about HyunMyeong please feel free to email me
at cavnerla@msu.edu.
Thank you very much for your consideration of HyunMyeong.
Sincerely,
