flexible and understands the importance of making sure all voices have been heard. She serves as one of
our Continuous School Improvement team leaders and on our Vision 20/20 leadership team. She has also
been instrumental in helping us improve our action research project of using data to drive instruction by
leading us through a change process to consider new technologies that could prove to be more effective
than our original plan. Her training with John Hattie helps to provide her a foundation of understanding
that truly measures our growth through the effect size of the teachers instruction.
Another important quality about Shari is that she is a lifelong learner. She takes advantage of every
opportunity to increase her repertoire of instructional and personal knowledge through professional
reading, using technology social media sites like Twitter to increase her understanding of best practice and
seeking the counsel of experienced administrators.
It is a privilege to work with her on a daily basis. She has reflected on her journey and has concluded that
she is ready for the next step of developing her leadership abilities by taking on the helm of being an
Elementary Principal. She will be an excellent addition to any districts team if provided the opportunity.
She will be a change agent that will improve the learning of her student body in balance with the learning
of her staff. I highly recommend Shari Pawlus to take on the responsibility of being an Elementary
Principal.
