-I am inquiring about employment for the 5th - 8th Grade
-STEM Teacher position.
+I am inquiring about employment for the Computer Specialist
+position.
-During the this 2019-2020 school year, I helped a student create
-a bike helmet notifier. The bike now beeps and flashes a light
-if the rider is not wearing the matching helmet. To accomplish
-this, we used an arduino on the bike and another on the helmet.
-They communicated via bluetooth. Under the seat, we added
-load cells to detect the presence of a person sitting. Inside
-the helmet, we used bend sensors to detect whether the helmet
-was on. I believe this demonstrates strong subject matter
-expertise and makes me a strong candidate for the position.
+I believe I will be able to maintain a computer laboratory since I
+have previously maintained the makerspace at Gideon Hausner. In
+addition, I have taught students and teachers how to use the
+technology within the makerspace.
+
+Creating lesson plans that cater to specific students has been crucial
+to my teaching career. As a teacher at Hausner, I helped students with
+their science fair projects. This involved assessing what each
+student is capable of and finding what motivates them. In the letters
+of recommendation from students, you will see reflections from the
+students on my ability to identify these things and create
+learning experiences that they have taken with them.
Since I am coming to professional education through
a non-traditional route, I am not currently certificated. However,
-I would certainly go through the process. For the
+I am currently finding my way through the process. For the
past 3.5 years, Gideon Hausner, a jewish day school for K-8 students
has employed me. During that time, I have built relationships with
students, parents, teachers and faculty.
