Eligible to work in the United States?Yes
I have letter of eligibility for employment to teach English
and Spanish in NH. I have recently received a letter from a
student which stated my strengths. In his 3 years with me as a
Spanish student, with a learning disability, he learned how to
study from me. The units I teach involve the Understanding By
Design model of backwards design and include a bigger
question. All of my students experience a unit on how we learn
best. They complete various assignments that target different
learning styles and evaluate which taught them the most.
Over the years I have purchased many of my own materials.
Because I am interested in the bigger question ideas, I have
purchased literature in bilingual format to ensure the
students experienced plenty of Spanish, and read the text for
meaning for the bigger question contemplation. My favorite
curriculum includes beginning the year with the ancient
civilizations around the world and looking at some of the
literature passed down from them. We also look at the earliest
form of communications and attempt to communicate with one
another using some of these forms. From there we study the
Roman empire and look at how latin has been incorporated into
our languages, doing an in depth study of prefixes and
suffixes and roots for meaning. A game of Balderdash following
this unit allows us to see how studying Latin would help us
understand the romance languages. We then move to the study of
ballads and look at some of the famous ballads, like El Cid,
and investigate whether or not the ballad is still used.
Students are led to find a ballad format in popular music. El
Cid is also an epic, the discussion of epics ensues as does
the more interesting conversation of how religion continues to
be an influence in war. Picturesque literature follows with,
Lazarillo, and a discussion of how government plays a role in
the lives of society. A research paper is written on a country
of their choice during the same time period to discover the
influence of government. Don Quixote comes into the picture
with the great question of the definition of insanity.
Students then write a one act script based on their favorite
episode in the peices of the literature read. Explorers are
then studied and students become an explorer of their choice
keeping a diary of their adventures. Students contemplate how
language is influenced by the introduction of other cultures
and create some new words to use around the school to assist
them in discovering whether or not a new "language" would
influence their culture.
Students read the children's book, Josefina, and write their
own children's book inspired by the development of the area of
the world their explorer "discovered". Research is required to
a great degree for this work. Students play the board game,
Puerto Rico, which allows them to become key figures in the
development of a colony and plan a speech for one of the
political offices. Students play the board game, Eurorail, and
decide where and what type of transportation would be best in
the colony they have created. Students complete and author
study of Jimenez, and prepare for a debate about the
immigration issue. Students read the young adult book, Naomi
Leon, and write a short story for the same age audience about
an issue they believe fits that audience. They must speak with
authorities on the topic to ensure their writing will include
valuable insight for their audience. They read, The Lorax, and
study an environmental question of their choice on which they
then must create a children's story.
Reading literature from other cultures allows for cooking,
dancing or exploring music or art.
I am interested in a teaching position with your district that
incorporates teacher written, integrated, cross curricular,
backwards design, standard based units. My greatest
achievement to date includes the development and delivery of
such units. Teacher written curriculum is delivered with great
enthusiasm. Whatever the goals of your school , it is the
presentation of units that inspires the student and raises
their learning achievements. I would like to be associated
with a district where communications with parents is a high
priority. I enjoy writing reports to parents about what was
coming up in class. In my class room you may see a relay race,
internet games, role plays or writing activities.
Within the class room it is important for me as the teacher to
awaken the interest from the students and show them I care.
That care begins before they walk into the room. My
''discipline'' policy includes a positive reinforcement goal.
I strive to always meet the students with a positive statement
prior to allowing myself to direct or correct. Meeting
students in the hall prior to entering class allows me to
offer a ''Good Morning'', at least, prior to asking for
homework, which may not be completed. Skillful Teacher
techniques are spotted daily in my classroom arena.

Hazen Union School
Spanish Teacher
Hardwick, Vermont
Aug 2007 - Jun 2010
I taught a 7th grade FLEX introducing Spanish as a
possibility for their future language learning at Hazen.
I teach all levels of High School Spanish as well. This
program is in its 3rd year at Hazen and development of
the levels has been my priority. In April 2008, I
traveled with a group of 32 teens to Spain, Italy and
France to experience the culture of the three languages
they study at Hazen.
Reading and Writing across the curriculum is a high
priority in my plans. Students are required to read four
books by Spanish authors or about Spanish speaking
countries. Depending on the needs at the school, these
books may be targeted to the same author, or different
genres that need to be explored to meet State
requirements. The current GCE's encompass specific Vital
Results to be targeted with foreign language and I
strive to meet these vital results in my units. Students
are aware of the reason for their inclusion and keep
track of their own learning on our "accomplishments"
wall. In this way, students feel they are growing with
each assignment.
Spanish is spoken by students each day in class, at
least one day a week it is the only language spoken.
Reading, Writing and Listening are also targeted each
day. The Vital Results and cultural experiences are
found within each unit which normally encompasses a
month of study.
Reason for leaving: Though I am extremely happy at
Hazen, I am concerned that my current position will not
always be a full time position. Hazen is 47 miles from
my home. It is not economically sound to take a chance
on the position becoming part time in the future.

It is a pleasure to write this letter in support of Mary
Morrison. Mary is one of the most outstanding teachers I
have known in my 27 years as a counselor. She prepares
thoroughly for her classes and creates amazing lessons.
this year she has been teaching an independent social
studies class to our one ELL student who is from Mexico.
Mary volunteered to take on this task, and her lesson
plans and materials are models of good practice. All of
her classes are filled with energy and fun. At the same
time, she requires hard work and intellectually
challenges her students.
Mary has an extraordinary rapport with her students. she
is often the first teacher to notice signs of learning
disabilities or emotional problems, and she brings them
to my attention so that her students can get help.
Mary's ability to connect with students helps to
motivate them and make them feel comfortable to stay
after school to work on their Spanish. Mary stays after
school several hours each day for this purpose.
My job frequently involves calling parents when their
children are struggling with school. Mary makes my job
easier, because she calls parents herself whenever she
has concerns aobut her students. She also fills out
referral forms for our Educational support Team that
give detailed information about the students she has
identified as needing help.
As you can see from this letter, Mary is the best. I
recommend her to you as a treasure who will bring
wonderful gifts to your school and to your students.
Sincerely,
Betty Richmond

It is with great pleasure that I recomment Mary Morrison
for a teaching position. though a newly trained teacher,
Mary brings a wealth of personal and professional
experience to the field of education, all of which she
integrates into her teaching.
Mary has taught Sp[anish at Wellspring School this past
year and has substitute taught many times in grades one
through eight. She has presented lessons in my seventh
and eighth grade class on European geography based on
her extensive travel in Eastern Europe. I have also
worked collegially with Mary on the faculty at the
administrative level. I have observed Mary's teaching
through out peer evaluation process.
Mary brings many strengths to her teaching. She is
exceptionally well prepared and makes extensive lesson
plans well in advance. Her lessons are well though out,
bringing a range of activities to suit a variety of
learning styles. In the Spanish class I observed she
began with conversation and drills in spanish. this was
followed by the students participatiing in a sports
panel game in Spanish, using Hispanic sports figures,
which they had developed based ona structure provided by
the teacher. The students were focused and engaged, both
in their enjoyment of the activity and in the use of the
Spanish language. In the latst third of the class the
students worked insmall groups developing the next stage
of the game. The students in my seventh and eighth grade
class love Spanish and are learning a great deal about
Spanish culture through cooking, singing, and drama, as
well as learning the fundamentals of the language. they
agree that Senora Maria is the best leanguage teacher
they have had in their eight years of school.
In addition to her strength in curriculum. Mary has a
natural gift for class management. she sets very clear
limits for studnets and is cheerful and respectful in
helping students adhere to these limits. she cares
deeply about her students and they perceive heras fair
and kind in the classroom. she deals well with parents
in finding constructive ways for all students to
participate.
collegially Mary is easy to work with. She has extensive
experience working in groups. She offers creative and
clear solutions, asks for clarification on difficult
points, and, in general, moves discussion along in a
helpful way. She offers suggestions freely and is not
attache3d to her point of view prevailing. She is
flexible and works well as a team member.
Mary will be a great addition to any shcool. Not only
will she bring valuable experience and maturity to her
position, she will bring the dedication and enthusiasm
of a new teacher. We are very sad to lose her at our
school and we are loosing her only because we cannot
offer her the full time position that she needs. I can
recommend Mary without reservation. Please feel free to
call me to further discuss her application.
Sincerely,
Judy Tharinger, M. Ed.

It is with great pleasure and deep regret that I
recommend Mary Morrison for the position of Spanish
teacher. I have known Mary as a peer for about a year
and a half. I am a Special Educator at the high school
level. Most of my students have learning disabilities
that interfere with their performance in regular
classes. Becaouse of the excellent experiences both my
students and I have had with Mary, I highly recommend
her for a teaching position in your district.
In the first place, Mary is a creative and innovative
teacher. I began to know her because as a special
educator, I remain at school for meetings and paperwork
long after others leave. I soon found that Mary was
usually in her room as long and often longer than I was.
She made it a point to see me frequently to discuss
students we had in common. During our discussions, Mary
was always flexible in her approach to individual needs
and very creative in her ability to adjust her teaching
strategies to include skills that might need to be
reinforced for individual students. In the end, she
would come up with a plan that would provide
multi-sensory experiences for theentire class so that
every student would benefit and no one would be singled
out. This sensitivity increased student success and made
discipline issues a non-issue in Mary's room.
In addition, Mary developed exciting learning activities
for her students. I remember one activity tht culminated
ina community of multiple stores from different
countries, selling many products in specific currencies.
Students were furnished wiht a shopping list and were
required to purchase specific items, in specific
currencies, calculating what their exact change should
be using only Spanish to communicate. this was a
challenging, realistic, hands-on experience that was
also enjoyable for her students.
These types of successful activities are possible
because Mary is a very reflective teacher and is not
hesitant to accurately assess her interactions with an
individual, a class or of her lesson plans. IN fact,
this is just part of her normal functioning. If she
finds a lesson needs to be tweaked or changed, or that a
student needs to be approached in a different manner,
Mary makes the correction and assesses again.
Consequently, her teaching never becomes "stale" and her
students feel special and appreciated.
I could go on and on about Mary but I'm going to close
by saying that my observations and appreciation of her
were shared by other faculty members as well. As a
result, we voted Mary "Teacher of the Year" for the
04-05 school year. I've been here for twently-five years
and I've never seen that happen to a first year teacher.
If that many people notice, then something good is going
on in teaching. I highly recommend Mary. I doubt if you
can find better.
If you have further questions, you may reach me at

I have known Mary Morrison for one and a half years. As
a Special Education Teacher she and I have wroked
together to provide students with learning disabilities
(often with emotional and or behavioral conponents)
access to and success in spanish language classes. Mary
is outstanding to work with. She desires that all
students succeed and is more than willing to provide
accommodations. She works with the student's education
plan and readily shares suggestions, feedback, and the
student's successes and concerns. It has been a pleasure
working with her.
Mary takes a personal interest in her students. She
establishes clear expectations, listens to student
needs, and is responsive to student learning.
She is comprehensive in her instruction of Spanish
language and through classroom management allows
students to prioritize time reflecting real life
situations. Mary offers a variety of presentation
methods. She uses technology to teach, reinforce and
provide practice by putting on a web site games, sample
quizzes for students to access on their own time often
at home. She takes her teaching seriously.
Her students in my experience would rate her as
excellent. She is available before, during and after
school to answer questions. She works along with the
student in making progress as opposed to providing
instruction and then sitting back to offer passing or
failing grades. She offered step by step assistance to a
student not enrolled in her classes to complete a
technical career center program project and built his
presentation into her classes. This is just one example
among many of Mary's superior skills and admirable work
ethic.
It is these qualities that cause me to expecially
recommend her to your shcool/program/employment.
If you'd like to discuss her attributes in more detail,
please don't hesitate to contact me.

Mary Morrison has been a Spanish Instructor at our
school since September of 2000. Mary has also served as
a 7th grade Langauge Arts instructor for a six-week
interim position. Finally, Mary has been working with
the sixth grade team on small group instruction in our
sixth grade classroom. I have had the opportunity to
observe Mary over an eight-week period of time. I have
observed her in both the sixth and seventh grade
settings.
Mary is well-suited to teach either upper elementary or
middle school. She demonstrates a strong understanding
of the needs of this age group in both her instructional
practice and her classroom management. Her classes were
lively while providing an atmosphere conducive to
learning. Mary rarely had any discipline problems, which
is a credit to her ability to develop clear expectations
around behavior.
Mary spoke Spanish almost the entire time in her sixth
grade classes. Her students responded well to this
immersion. Mary has written excellent units for her
studies. She has been using the Understanding By Design
model for u8nit design. In the classes I observed,
students were working on some basic Spanish questions
and responses.
In all classes, Mary had students working in a variety
of formates: individual, pairs and groups. Mary kept the
momentum going aned the studnets wrere consistently
engaged. She checked for understanding throughout her
lessons, at one point in time using a relay team format
to review parts of speech.
Mary is a dedicated instructor who is often found after
school spending extra hours preparing for the following
day or reviewing student work. She has stayed in
constant contact with parents, sending home a letter to
introduce new units or addressing specific concerns.
Mary is very eager and ready to become a full-time
teacher. She is a hard wroker and studnts will benefit
from the enthusiasm she generates.

Dear Search Committee:
It gives me great pleasure to write this letter of
recommendation for Ms. Mary Morrison, teacher of Spanish
at Hazen Union School, whom I have known for the past
three years.
Ms. Morrison is an educator with integrity and honesty
who holds herself to high standards for her own work as
well as that which she receives from her students. She
is tenacious and has served as the leader of her
department.
Professionally, Ms. Morrison is a team player and asks
for input into her lesson ideas. She is innovative and
creative in her project-based teaching and involves
students in their learning. Her teaching goes beyond the
classroom walls onto the school’s campus and into the
village of Hardwick, to include the elementary school.
Ms. Morrison enjoys using technology along with
artifacts to pique her students’ interest.
Ms. Morrison is a life-long learner and always tries new
ways to capture the essence of what she wants students
to learn, be it with food, role-playing, or creating
real-life scenarios on video. Her focus on Writing
Across the Curriculum and planning debates on such
topics as immigration laws are indicative of Ms.
Morrison’s talents and interests. Ms. Morrison’s goal as
an educator is for students to think and to transfer
their knowledge into their own lives.
If I can be of further assistance, please contact me at
802-472-6511, extension 104.
Very truly yours,
Elaine F. Laine, Ph.D.
