Good evening Mrs.

Kesler,

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to communicate about the project that I

have been working on. The purpose of this project is to support the novice teachers.

The course will prepare experienced teachers with specific tasks that will be upcoming

that the new teacher might have questions. Our purpose is to provide a smooth first

year to all new teachers coming to our campus. The idea is to help teachers to support

new teachers to be able to retain the number of new teachers. My goal is to maintain

our teachers and build solid foundations for our teacher to impact the students' learning.

When the teachers have the science of teaching under their belt, this is evident in our

students' success.

I have received positive feedback from the project. We are providing our students

with an outstanding education due to the high number of professional development

training. The engagement level of students has increased due to technology integration.

Students are scoring above average because of the explicit instruction. In addition, our

teachers are happy to see these results and they have expressed how smooth the

process has been. Educators are learning from peers. They have also worked along

with each other to support one another.

The weaknesses within the plan is that students that are not attending school

regularly are falling behind due to a rigorous curriculum. Due to an increase of

assessments we are able to track student performance. As of now our students have

seen a higher number of assessments; this is something I will be thinking about as the
instructional designer. I will be speaking with our team to brainstorm alternative ways to

gather data without too much interruption to our instruction time.

Please allow me to formally express my gratitude as you have given me the

opportunity to take on full responsibility for this program. I am truly honored to be given

such an important role here on our campus. I am devoted to this project and I know we

continue to see great results as we get closer to reaching all goals for this project. I

hope to touch bases with you as we finalize our last months of this school year. Please

let me know your thoughts and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you,
