I have a letter of recommendation from the Director of studies @
WIS. I'd like to quote a bit here:
| "Leon
adapted quickly to the school and its culture. He did his best to
implement the New Zealand curriculum adopted by our school and
held his students to high expectations in both areas of academics
and behavior. He was keen to plan instruction that accommodated
differing abilities and needs of the students he taught. He also
involved students in assessment and offered opportunities for
shared reflections and self-evaluations.
"Leon
proved to be a confident
and assertive individual. He demonstrated motivation and
flexibility during his time at WIS. He worked cooperatively with
colleagues and participated in cross-grade-level planning
sessions. He readily joined in discussions with conviction but was
willing to compromise when needed. He was receptive to and
appreciative of suggestions and consistently reflective of his
teaching.
"WIS places a strong emphasis on extracurricular activities
and Leon was a willing contributor to the after school program.
His talents are many, and he is particularly skilled in the use of
technology including the development and maintenance of his own
web site.
"I
hope that you will consider Leon for a teaching position at your
school. I feel that he has a lot to offer to any school who will
employ him."

to be consistent and reliable. Leon was dependable in carrying out
his assignments, and strove to learn and excel in the art of
teaching. He had a cooperative attitude, and worked well with my
students. He was very teachable, and his desire for excellence was
evident through effort he made to learn new techniques and improve
his teaching skills." |
