AP teacher / educator / instructor / trainer -- 20 years experience - Louisville

TO: Whom It May Concern FROM: Paul Vale DATE: 6/8/14 RE: Application for employment After nearly two decades of successful teaching at Trinity High School of Louisville, KY, I have decided that now is the appropriate time to move on to the next chapter in my career. While most of my teaching role focused on an average class load of 150 students in advanced and / or AP curriculum, I also learned to serve a broader range of people. During my tenure as a full time instructor, I also served 13 years as chairman of one of the primary educational departments of the institution, with a student body from 1300 - 1400. I supervised, hired, mentored, and evaluated continuously while still creating and updating curriculum (often department wide). I served on policy creating and oversight boards or committees in areas of curriculum, policies and standards, and academic environment. I also served as faculty liason to the governing Board of Directors for these same areas. With all of that being said, and with the support of my family, I decided to conclude my career with one of the state's most prestigious college preparatory institutions, and embark on new, fresh challenges in which I could utilize my skills, experience, and outgoing personality. It is my desire that this new phase begin with a solid organization, which would embrace this transition from secondary to more adult oriented education. I would humbly submit that the scope outlined in this particular post may serve for a mutually beneficial employment relationship. I thoroughly enjoy meeting, collaborating, and working with new people. Whether one on one, small group, or large presentation - positive, productive interaction is where I have thrived. I hope that you will please consider my application for service one worth exploring further. Sincerely and Respectfully submitted, Paul M. Vale
