Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Director of Curriculum and Instruction with 5 years of experience working with the Department of Education, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

An education leader and influencer with nearly two decades of combined expertise in curriculum development and implementation, teacher development, and school leadership, I strongly believe that I am the best fit for this position. 

I am deeply familiar with the Department of Education’s mandate to provide educational leadership in STEM education, ensure strategic planning and project oversight, professional learning for teachers, school leaders and others, and support educational teams in providing high-quality curriculum development, implementation, and support. In addition to developing and implementing the STEM curriculum across the Sunnybank School District, I am the Senior Instructional Leader who coaches and supervises K-12 teaching staff to support their performance, growth, and development.

I have enjoyed a positive partnership with the Department’s Curriculum Services team over many years, and have a robust understanding of the STEM Framework, guidelines, policies, and strategies. For me, this is not just a job – it’s an unwavering passion. If selected, I am committed to continue driving my strategic vision for STEM education through an innovative curriculum and exceptional teacher performance.

In addition to my experience, I hold a Master of Curriculum Development, a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, and a Certificate in Professional Development Program - Curriculum Design. I have also completed 200+ hours of professional development in STEM education, teacher training, and educational leadership.
