    District Administrator: I have witnessed some amazing things from Mr. Marth during the Fall semester of 2015. I feel that a traditional one-page letter of recommendation does not truly explain his exceptional qualities as an educator. Mr. Marth has proven himself to be not only an outstanding educator, but also strong contributor of ideas and strategies in the Social Studies Department at Civic Memorial High School. Without a doubt, I can give Blake the title of best and by far most committed and effective student teacher I have ever had the pleasure of working with in my twelve years at the Bethalto Community School District. Here are some of my observations of Mr. Marth as to why I feel this strongly about his ability as an educator.…
