I'm applying to M. Ed programs and I am a little late to the game, so my first deadline is only about 3 weeks away. I graduated from college 18 months ago and I have been working at a high school since two weeks after graduation. I need three LOR's for all my programs, and I luckily have two secured: one from a professor with whom I worked closely and had a great relationship, and another from a teacher whom I student-taught for my senior year (who happens to be an alum of my college). My dilemma is the 3rd. I know it needs to be someone I work with now, but I have not wanted to share with anyone in my current community that I'm thinking about leaving. Should I suck it up and ask my direct supervisor, letting her know I'm leaving? Or would it be okay to ask a colleague that I am on great terms with, who I think might be able to keep a secret?
Any advice from you guys would be amazing! Thank you!
