  64 I am inquiring about employment for the Computer Specialist
  65 position.
  66
  67 I believe I will be able to maintain a computer laboratory since I
  68 have previously maintained the makerspace at Gideon Hausner.  In
  69 addition, I have taught students and teachers how to use the
  70 technology within the makerspace.
  71
  72 Creating lesson plans that cater to specific students has been crucial
  73 to my teaching career.  As a teacher at Hausner, I helped students with
  74 their science fair projects.  This involved assessing what each
  75 student is capable of and finding what motivates them.  In the letters
  76 of recommendation from students, you will see reflections from the
  77 students on my ability to identify these things and create
  78 learning experiences that they have taken with them.
  79
  80 Since I am coming to professional education through
  81 a non-traditional route, I am not currently certificated.  However,
  82 I am currently finding my way through the process.  For the
  83 past 3.5 years, Gideon Hausner, a jewish day school for K-8 students
  84 has employed me.  During that time, I have built relationships with
  85 students, parents, teachers and faculty.
  86
  87 As a result, I have received many recommendation letters.  Hopefully
  88 these letters can get me into a teaching position that supports me
  89 while I pursue more traditional certification.
