One or more short quotes from letter of recommendation by the above supervisor

It has been my pleasure to know and work with Mrs. Susie Smart. Her commitment to her profession is an inspiration to us all. She motivates students to work to their potential and voluntarily acts as personal mentor to many of our high school students that seem to naturally gravitate to her. She regularly goes beyond my greatest expectations.

Mrs. Smart is a driving force on our faculty. She contributes to the success and positive parent and community perception of our school in many ways.

I highly recommend Mrs. Smart to you as she is one of the most outstanding teachers you will have the privilege to know and work with.

Bill Manns

 Additional Information about you and your teaching history a director would want to know about
 

Teaching art is my life's passion. I have attended many seminars and courses focused on teaching art to children. During the summer of 2002 I spent six weeks studying at the London Art institute with the artist and innovator of the Touch Theory of Art. Since that time I have incorporated these teachings into my personal approach to teaching art to children. In my classes we explore a variety of mediums, from fabric art to clay, water colors, metal sculptor and more. After exposure to each medium students choose the medium which they feel most reflects what they want to say in their art and pursue that medium for the remainder of the school year, developing their skills.

In 1999 I received the Ohio State Teacher of the Year Award for Art. In 1997 I received the outstanding teacher of the year award in my school district.

With the absence of the discipline problems found in the States, I have been able to achieve even more with my students in International Schools. Please feel free to contact my references.

Candidates Educational Philosophy or Personal Statement
 

 

My personal and professional expectations have been met in each of our overseas assignments because I seek out and energetically pursue challenges making our school and, indeed, ourselves more beautiful and socially conscious. I expect myself to make a difference, my school to make a difference, and to involve all students in reaching for their best within themselves and our community. My enthusiasm for improving our world, my love for children, an artistic ‘eye’, and a desire to ensure that ALL children are literate children, are assets which make me a well-qualified teacher. My successful achievements in six years of international teaching as Art teacher, Librarian and classroom teacher speak to my success overseas.
