To whom it may concern,
I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Carol Baker as she pursues her professional goal of teaching in a foreign country as a music educator.
Carol is known throughout the Essex Town School District as a dedicated educator who brings passion, innovation and commitment to her work with students; with an unwavering focus on improving student skills both on and off the stage!
Having been a member of the audience on many occasions over the last two years, where Carol has organized and directed student musicians within multi-grade configurations, I have been routinely impressed with each performance based on the ability of each student musician and as importantly, as a full chorus. Moreover, Carol’s students have developed attributes of lifelong learning as evidenced by their maturity in collaborating and communicating effectively with each other, learning how to be flexible and adaptable and learning how to take initiative as a student leader.
Finally, Carol has demonstrated leadership across the district and region as she has helped to galvanize support for the Arts through large-scale multi-school performances both in the performing and visual Arts. Through her leadership, the Arts have taken on greater prominence in our community at a time when the national education agenda has eclipsed the importance of developing creativity, curiosity, innovation, and collaboration among our youth.
Carol Baker brings this type of vision to her work as a music educator and I am confident that she will continue to direct her energy toward developing and sustaining a vibrant Music program no matter where she lives or works.
Sincerely,
Mark S. Andrews, Superintendent, Essex Town School District
