This letter from the Program Office is part of your request for a supervisor or peer letter.
Dear Colleague:
An instructor in the In-Service Teacher Training Certificate Program has asked you to complete this form to attest to his/her knowledge in specific areas of Modules II through V. Your letter will help this teacher as he/she attempts to receive advanced credit in the program.
Your comments are very important because they provide evidence that the teacher has learned what he/she claims. Here are some guidelines that we hope will help as you write your comments:
- Review the module outcomes.
- Remember that this is a documentation/attestation rather than a recommendation. We are more interested in verifying the teacher's prior learning of teaching skills than predicting future performance.
- Assess whether or not the individual can perform the outcome or objective: Use examples, whenever possible to help us to make our determination on behalf of the potential student.
- Sign this form and send it to the teacher who requested that you write the letter. Keep a copy for yourself. The teacher will forward your letter to us with other documentation.
Thank you for taking the time to write a thoughtful and candid assessment.
For the Program Team,
Program Support Officer
