Reference Statements:
Lindsey is and has been a lifesaver in the classroom over the past five years. As both a co-worker and co-teacher, she has repeatedly proven to be the teacher that will go beyond her obligations to make sure that lessons and materials are prepared before student learning. Actively engaging students and constantly utilizing developmental collaborative learning strategies to promote higher order thinking within lessons, discussions, and units of study, she is able to teach students how to learn. Mrs. Held not only teaches the students that she encourages each year, but her professional teaching and learning carries into the school and is reflected in its relationships with all who come in contact with her.
