I wish to write this letter of recommendation for Daniel Burns. Mr. Burns has been a sub at Porter High School for the past several years. During that time, he has demonstrated his abilities in the classroom. He has substituted for me personally several times. Each time he performed his duties extremely well. Students assignments were turned in on time and he left a detail notes for each class. Mr. Burns had control of his  classes and demonstrated his ability to relate to students.
 

I know Mr. Burns has a desire to become a teacher and I would highly encourage him to do so. Hiring competent substitutes during the school year can be difficult. However, Mr. Burns is someone that is selected regularly by myself and my department. I would give my full endorsement to any program he was attempting to enter.

As Campus Substitute Coordinator for Porter High School during 2014-2019 I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Daniel Burns. 

I’m delighted to write this letter of recommendation on his behalf as he was one of my most dependable Substitutes. Mr. Burns displayed great classroom management skills, very adaptable, and capable of handling student discipline issues that would arise in the classroom. Mr. Burns on occasion assisted me with coordinating classroom coverage during our high absentee days. He enjoyed covering for long-term  substitute positions and was especially delighted when coverage was in the Social Studies department.

Mr. Burns if given the opportunity would be an asset to any High School. He always displayed a team player attitude. He put himself at the front of every line to help out in any way
he could. 

I am writing this letter in regard to Mr. Daniel Burns, whom I have known for over five years or more. I have also worked with Mr. Burns, for over five years. He is never late, very dependable, energetic, and very knowledgeable of subject areas.
 

He is very helpful to the students. He always wants the students to have that self confidence that they need. He is always saying positive things to the students. Mr. Burns, is very good at motivating the students to participate in class. 

During this time and how this CORONA VIRUS, has changed all of our lives, especially the children, I think that Mr. Daniel Burns, would be an asset to teaching in the school system.

I have known Mr. Daniel Burns since at least 2015. During this time we have played softball together, spoke at length about life, and worked together in a professional capacity. I am happy to assist him in his attempt to become an educator by writing this letter to recommend him to you. 

Mr. Burns has substituted for me multiple times during my teaching career and has always comported himself in a professional manner. The classes he has covered include US History, Dual Credit US History, and US Government. He has demonstrated an ability to cover these courses and help my
students be successful. My students routinely tell me he was a firm but fair substitute. Throughout my years of knowing him he has demonstrated an ability to think critically when dealing with complex subject matter which I believe is necessary when teaching a subject as rich and varied as Social Studies. I truly
believe he would make an excellent educator for a long list of reasons. These reasons include but are not limited to his self-discipline, ability to communicate effectively, and desire to see students be successful. 

I am writing on behalf of Daniel Burns.  Over the past six years I have gotten to know Daniel and his passion for education.  He has been a continual student himself; always making himself available to learn and engulfed in his studies.  I believe that he truly values education and the education system.  Not only does Daniel value and strive for high education, he has a passion for the youth of our community. 

I have watched Daniel mentor and teach students for the past six years I have known him.  He quickly made himself available to work for NCISD [New Caney ISD] as a substitute teacher and has been a very valuable asset to the district and specifically my campus of PHS [Porter High School].  Daniel has consistently been a substitute that our substitute coordinator could count on and was willing to call on for any situation here at PHS. 

Daniel has worked diligently during the past year or so to prepare himself for a position teaching Social Studies in a public school, and I believe that he would be as great an asset to our district as he already is to our community.   

It is truly an honor to have been asked to write a letter of reference for Daniel Burns, a substitute here at Porter High School.  During the past years of knowing Mr. Burns, I have observed how her goes above and beyond to help in any way possible.  Mr. Burns is one of the few substitutes that I know I can rely on.  There have been numerous times when I had to ask him to come in and help with classroom coverage at short notice and he will be here. 

  Mr. Burns is well liked by all teacher and staff at PHS.  He has been requested by teachers to substitute for them on may occasions.  You will find that he always gives more than his best.  His personality makes it easy for teachers and a students to connect with him.  I highly recommend Mr. Burns for a permanent teaching position without any reservation.  

I have known Daniel for the last five years or so. He has been able to substitute for my classes at Porter High School. Every time he does, I know things will go well. He enjoys helping the students even if it is a subject he is unsure of. I believe that Daniel would be a fine addition to any campus. I hope you will give him the opportunity to show what he can do.

I would like to recommend Daniel Burns for a Social Studies teaching position at Porter High School. I have known Daniel for 5 years and we have become good friends substitute teaching together.

We worked together in P.E. year before last and I know that all of our students were treated fairly and they respected us and had fun. He is a good teacher and a good role model for all students. He is a good family man and he has a great personality and is an honorable person. I am a retired New Caney I.S.D. teacher and coach and former head coach at White Oak Middle School.

I have known Daniel Burns for the past four years. We met at Porter High School while he was substitute teaching. Since then, Mr. Burns has become somewhat of a colleague, he is here as much as the regular staff.

Over the years I have witnessed Mr. Burns conversing with students and other staff. He always conducts himself in a respectful manner and has much patience. Mr. Burns’s character has proven to be professional, dependable, and honest.

It is a pleasure to write in support of Daniel Burns for your job opportunity. I believe that he will be an asset to your institution.

I have been at Porter High School (PHS) since it opened in 2010.  I am now and have been the Chair of the Foreign Languages since 2008, When I became employed with New Caney ISD (NCISD). 

​

I became acquainted with Daniel Burns when he began working as a substitute many years ago.  I dare say he has been at Porter High School almost since it opened in 2010.  

​

In the time that I have known Daniel I have come to regard him as a strong reliable substitute who earned the respect of students, teachers, and administrators for the work he has performed here at PHS. 

​

For may years before recently beginning his pursuit of TEA Certification, Daniel was a common fixture and the go-to sub when teachers were in need.  His hard work and dedication led him to be regarded by myself and many others as reliable, knowledgeable, and committed to his work.  His even-keel personality blends well in a diverse and dynamic environment such a teaching young people.  

​

While I do not know Daniel personally, I believe that his attributes displayed at work are not far from his personal character.  I believe Daniel will be a fine addiction to any work dealing with education.
