- 1. JESSE RANDALL HALE, ED.D. Curriculum Vitae Jesse Randall Hale, Ed.D. 746 Hall Creek Road, Hiawassee, GA 30546 44 Camp Lake Drive, Hardeeville, South Carolina 29927 jrhale75@gmail.com 706-‐970-‐9104 Statement of Teaching Philosophy Teaching a successful class energizes me. Adult learners who yearn for knowledge inspire me. My internal motivation reaches a high point when students are excited about the course topic and actively participate in the class. One of the most satisfying aspects of teaching is making a positive impact on a student’s academic life and helping them achieve their goals. I believe that students learn best when they are active participants in the class. I feel that students grow as learners and critical thinkers when they can relate theory to real life situations, and are challenged to think and analyze outside the box. I like to use examples of experiences from my own life’s work to help students translate theory into practice and to apply new knowledge to their work and life. This is often achieved in a classroom discussion format with peer response, case study, and critical analysis.

- 10. JESSE RANDALL HALE, ED.D. SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE – IN SUMMARY: ➢ Lumpkin County High School; Assistant Principal & Vocational Supervisor: Served on planning committee for the construction of a new high school and athletic field, stadium and facilities. Also worked with the planning committee for communicating the priorities for the E-‐Splost (Optional Sales Tax) which covered the cost of construction for the new school project. ➢ Towns County High School; Principal: Served on the planning committee for developing the design and plans for a new elementary school and renovations to the middle and high school. Prior to this construction project, all three levels of school were housed in one building. Also worked with the board in meeting with the community regarding the bond referendum and E-‐Splost funding for the construction and renovation projects. ➢ Atkinson County Schools; Superintendent: I inherited a new high school building under construction and approximately 85% complete with eight (8) weeks prior to the new school year. As superintendent, I spear-‐headed the efforts to bring the budget under control, examine and adjust the plan for the completion of the new high school and expedited all coordinated efforts between the site and project engineer, state and local government officials, the Georgia Department of Education’s Construction and New Projects Division, as well as the board of education with whom I served. As superintendent, I also coordinated and managed the efforts to secure a different engineering firm to design an athletic facility that included a new high school football stadium, new baseball and softball fields, practice fields for all sports, a new athletic field house, complete with a new irrigation system that was eco-‐friendly. The new high school projects were completed on time and under the projected budget of $16,000,000 that was allotted. ➢ Atkinson County Schools; Superintendent: Additionally, as superintendent, I lead and managed the efforts for purchasing and securing an additional 15 acres for the elementary school in Willachoochee, Georgia, which proved to be a crucial and most beneficial decision two years later, as the school was expanded to accommodate student growth.
