My experience as a student with Ms Jennifer McKitrick was always a fun and exciting experience, whenever she taught she was always very excited for what she was teaching, which is always a plus with a teacher, and she would often get in to character of that character that we were learning about. She also always knew the best songs to go with what we were learning. She is a delight to work with.

I got to see her in action with a SDC ED classroom at Sheridan for the last few years and have learned many "best practices" from observing her in the classroom.

have been a colleague of Ms. McKitrick for two years. She has a positive and easy going manner with a very challenging class population. Ms. McKitrick is effective in dealing with students, staff members, administration, and parents. On many occasions I have personally seen her respond to difficult situations with aplomb.

Jenifer and I worked together to create the library curriculum for 2-5th graders at Synergy School. We taught all students in those classes for two years, and volunteers are still using some of the activities we created. Not only did I enjoy working with Jen, she inspired me to go back to school to get my teaching creditial, and we are now both teachers in SFUSD. Jennifer is smart, creative, dedicated and devoted to the students she serves. I would recommend her for any job for any position for which she feels qualified. I have substituted in her classroom and I can't imagine any job could be more challenging than the ones she has had, and which she handled with intelligence and grace.
