Summary
My varied professional background, rigorous work ethic, and open-minded attitude toward education make me the perfect candidate for the ELA position at Jones Middle School. I learned about the tight-knit Upper Arlington community through my employment at a local aftercare program, and learned about that community’s dynamic school system through my student teaching experience at Upper Arlington High School, and I know I would be the perfect teacher to add to this culture.
