It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Shelly Schantz for an administration position. I have
been fortunate enough to have worked with wonderful teachers throughout my career. Shelly
stands out among my colleagues. Shelly’s compassion, integrity, and generosity makes her an
invaluable member of our staff. She is a leader at our weekly collaboration meetings. Shelly’s
knowledge of pedagogy and instructional practices has made her a mentor for many teachers in
our building and district. Shelly is approachable. She makes herself available and genuinely puts
our students’ best interests above all else. Shelly leads professional development in our district,
takes initiative in curriculum planning, and is an integral part of our School Improvement team.
As her coworker, I can vouch for her sincerity to her work and the exceptional contribution that
she has made to make our school what it is now.
Shelly would be the administrator that all teachers would want to work with. Shelly’s experience
across all ages gives her an edge above others. Administrators wear many hats. Shelly would be
exceptional at managing student behaviors, communicating with families, collaborating with
school district members and community organizations, and ensuring the school remains in
compliance with legal responsibilities. Shelly also demonstrates integrity and high standards of
professionalism.
In the role of a colleague, Shelly has always proved herself a kind and helpful person. Going the
extra mile for her colleagues and students is second nature to her, and I have often looked up to
her for advice and mentorship. Shelly has always acted with the best interest of her school,
students, and colleagues. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend her for an administration
position as I believe she can contribute highly and successfully in every aspect of principal.
