April 2012

This letter serves as a recommendation for Khiry Praylow, a 2012 graduate in Physical Education from Saint J 0sephs College in Standish, Maine. It is with pleasure that I offer my recommendation for this prospective physical education teacher. Mr. Praylow was my student in PY 212, Human Growth and Development. During his undergraduate years at the College, Khiry has shown decided interest in working with students at different grade levels as Well as knowledge of child development. Perhaps his greatest strength is working directly with students as a strong motivator. His enthusiasm is genuine and he actively accommodates to learning modifications as well. Khiry has a strength in use of technology and has implemented various electronic resources in his undergraduate classes. Specifically, Mr. Praylow Worked with a group of Human Development students on a project about sex offenders. It was a quality presentation in every way, and was approached from federal, state, and local implications; the PowerPoint presentation was among the years best. Although I have only had Khiry for one of my classes, he is a young man whom I was quick to spot as someone whol1 make a difference in childrens lives. There is tremendous promise for teaching, coaching, and managing, be it in a classroom, gym or business setting. Hes a young man who will gain individual and public trust and will be a role model extraordinaire. Khiry is consistently respectful and fair in his treatment of others. He has a natural enthusiasm for teaching and he is well thought of by his peers. He is also patient and takes time to extend student responses in order to better guide their thinking. Khiry has made my classroom a better place for his presence, and I will miss him greatly. Lucky are the ones whose path Khiry will cross. He truly is a fine young man in every sense of the word. Sincerely, /54 Karen M. Lemke, Ed.D. Department of Education
