Excerpts from Letters of Recommendation:

"I have found Hannah to be highly effective both academically and interpersonally. Students and faculty alike respect her for her academic skill, her enlivening personality, and her ability to relate to people at all levels. Hannah’s energy has a tremendous, positive impact on our school climate. She is sincere and one that can be counted upon to accomplish whatever task she assumes. She is an individual of her own volition who provides far more to a school than she is contracted to do without complaint or resentment."

"As a classroom teacher Hannah runs an extremely tight ship. Student expectations are very clear and her lessons are engaging. These factors, coupled with Hannah’s sense of humor and ability to relate well with students creates a classroom environment that is both relaxed and very productive. Students like Hannah and enthusiastically accept the challenges she places upon them."

"Hannah has an incredibly accurate and intuitive people “radar”. She has tremendous instincts for working with students and families and understanding their perspectives. She is able to connect to students from a variety of backgrounds for this very reason, and at a level which surpasses typical surface connections. She brings these skills into her teaching daily, gently and subtly customizing her teaching to students’ different learning styles and needs. She is equally gifted working with her colleagues. "

"I don’t know what I would have done without Hannah’s insights and ideas this past year in terms of developing and piloting our newest curriculum. Her humor, her perspective, and her energy and enthusiasm have made her integral to our school’s success. She is a natural leader among her peers."

"Hannah is delightful, right, approachable, a team player, and gifted when it comes to understanding integrated curriculum."
