CAREER OBJECTIVE: Leadership Position
I am prepared for a leadership position in education back home (Nigeria). I want to be part of driving
educational transformation where teachers regularly utilize best practices in teaching our nation’s children.
My model will challenge teachers to expand their classroom practices and be more innovative for improved
students’ educational growth and achievements. I intend to develop programs for teachers that will foster
students of character, who will be competent, caring, and healthy, in today’s challenging world. I will
influence other professional educators in the field of science and social sciences. As a passionate, energetic,
highly trained and skillful science and education professional, I have the ability to create daily adventurous
atmosphere of active and engaging learning environment. I look forward to a career opportunity that will
utilize my talent and skills to prepare accomplished teachers. I have always made all my students to achieve
academic excellence, and helped my professional colleagues to improve on their classroom skills and
techniques. I will be happy to lead teachers to this standard in Nigeria.
