Recommendations For initial file set-up, you should have three to five recommendations in your credentials. For beginning teachers, request recommendations from your university supervisor and supervising teacher. In addition, recommendations from university professors and people who have observed your work may be valuable. Obtain permission from the person you wish to name as a reference.
