great things in their classrooms Teacher of the Month Program: Can be determined through a consensus of

faculty council that rewards those teachers who have the admiration and appreciation of their fellow staff members

What makes successful schools?

Clearly defined academic goalsCurriculum closely aligned with academic goalsEarly intervention for academic problemsDiverse methodology that will allow for individualized instruction. We must meet the students where they are, we can’t

expect them to catch us where we are!

Understanding that a diverse student population allows for an opportunity to learn more from each other and not see that as a barrier

What I Will Bring -

As Administrator for your District, I will bring: Goal Driven Leadership Aligned with the School’s Mission Detailed and Personalized Administration

In dealing with both staff and students Clearly Stated Mission High Expectations for Success in ALL AREAS Outgoing and Welcoming Attitude to ALL Stakeholders Good Common Sense Judgment Ability to Work Under Pressure and Make Sound Decisions Willingness to Learn From and Take Ownership in Mistakes Dedication the school and the district

What I Expect -

As an Administrator, I expect: To have a caring and competent staff of professionals To have a facility that is cared for and that the staff takes

ownership and pride in To have a student body that is excited about learning and

teachers excited about teaching To have the support of the teachers, community and other

administrators in the district To maintain a steady and constant growth in educational

achievement

The Three E’s -

To maintain momentum for educational success, I would instill in the staff my own personal mission, above and beyond the school’s mission. The “3 E’s” –

Educate

Every Child

Every Day!

If we can go home daily satisfied that we have educated every child we have come in contact with, we will have made the first step to creating a more successful learning community.

The BOTTOM LINE

We cannot lock learning into the four walls of the classroom or expect the students to just and have information ‘delivered’ to them as schools once did. We must do “WHATEVER – WHEREVER – WHENEVER” to reach and educate our children.

In ClosingI appreciate your time in viewing this and in

considering me for possible employment in your district. I can stand only my word to you that, if

hired, I will give 100% of my abilities. I know the long hours involved in being a productive and

efficient administrator and I would appreciate the challenge and opportunity. If you are interested in interviewing me or meeting with me, please feel
