How to ask for letter of recommendation for student teaching?

February 14th, 2010 | by admin |

I was not planning to teach right away so I did not ask for my letter of recommendation from my cooperating teacher, now almost a year later I really need to ask for a letter of recommendation. How do I go about asking?

It all depends on where you did your student teaching. A year later, the teacher is probably not under any obligation to write you a letter of recommendation. He or she would be doing you a favour. So, if you performed well during the student teacher period, you could phone your cooperating teacher and explain your problem. Alternatively you could make an appointment to see him or her. Be nice; make it clear that you appreciate that the teacher is a busy person and that it is a big favour. Take or send a large, stamped, self-addressed envelope.
