Nanton

To Whom it May Concern:

In response to the _____________ position I am enclosing a resume for your review. Please consider this

letter as my formal application presenting my background, education and experience. For the past 4 years

I have been the principal of A.B. Daley (K-6 elementary school) in Nanton, Alberta. A.B. Daley School’s

mission is to create a stimulating, positive learning environment for all our students. Through focusing

on literacy and numeracy we engage and inspire our students to be creative and innovative, to be

responsible citizens and to succeed in today's digitally fluent society.” I have worked collaboratively with

stakeholders to identify school goals, policies and aspirations that the school community strives to

achieve. Some of these initiatives include the re-designing of our learning commons, programming to

support literacy and numeracy and increasing the use of technology to the point where we are almost at a

1:1 ratio of students to devices – a true blended learning environment.

Previous experience includes being the Principal of Fort Assiniboine School (k-12), the Educational

Learning Technologies Coordinator for Pembina Hills School Division and classroom teacher k-12. I

worked diligently with staff at every location to bring google products, google resources, new technology

and a blended learning environment to students. I have been in the public education sector for almost 20

years and have worked very hard at gaining knowledge and expertise in a variety of realms.

Currently I am enrolled in a Human Resource Certification Program through the University of Calgary

where I hope to gain knowledge to support me as an educational leader. A natural progression after

obtaining my Masters in Educational Leadership in 2014.

I have very high expectations of success for myself, my colleagues and students of this division. I am a

motivator, a learning leader and I have made many partnerships throughout my career. I am very familiar

with early learning programs, inclusive education, VTRA, Working with Divisional Teams (FSL and

Behaviour Support Team) budgeting, technology, ADLC, k-12 programming and have expanded my

knowledge in the human resource realm. I consistently keep up to date with educational initiatives and

work hard to promote success for all students. I have a passion for technology, please check out my

digital portfolio/blog and the active links in this resume.

Thank you for taking the time to review my application. Please take a look at my E-Portfolio

(WordPress site) which contains a tremendous amount of educational information, certificates,

reference letters and evaluations. https://akluin.wordpress.com/

If you have questions, please call me at (780) 333-1279. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

“...I have seen Audrey do amazing things to support and encourage teachers in using technology to enhance the students’ learning. There are

teachers on our staff who have no fear of technology and welcome change, others are just beginning to accept technology’s inevitability. Audrey

has been able to encourage them all to stretch their horizon with videoconferencing opportunities, SMART boards, web access and many other
