- “We may pause, ponder and wonder that so many people who have made their mark in the world of ideas, who have been acknowledged leaders and innovators, have held formal education and educational institutions in low regard. The subject of education has been subjected to many comments, debates and deliberations by academics and writers. Their observations range from praise to cynicism, mostly the latter. Education is an easy target for criticism because its stated aims are often so nobly ambitious that they have little chance of being realized. We expect the teacher and particularly the Principal a paragon of all virtues as if she/ he is not a human being and is devoid of any needs and desires.”
Dear Employer:
First, a brief introduction about me will be appropriate.
I began my career as a teacher at the young age of 22 years. Gradually, I climbed the most sought for ladder as Principal of a highly reputable Public School. In between, I had the privilege of working in schools of repute namely, Birla Senior Secondary School, Pilani; Delhi Public School, Ranipur as Head Of English Faculty and as Principal, Army School.
During my 30 years academic voyage, I visited a number of reputable Schools of the country; attended numerous workshops, seminars and conferences; held important assignments in CBSE, NCERT, NOS and was instrumental in establishing a good number of schools and was in the panel of Selection Committees/ Management Committees of many schools.
As a teacher and Principal, I have very minutely studied and analysed the intricacies of School academics and administration. I observed that despite unemployment on one hand, it is difficult to find good teachers and more difficult to find a good Principal. More importantly, retention of good teachers and Principals is really a challenge in today’s scenario.
This is why, after my voluntarily resigning as Principal of DPS, I decided to extend my services to the employers, who are in search of good teachers and Principals and are seen advertising to fill in the vacancies on the look out for good teachers/Principals. I may like to emphasize that there are many dedicated and committed teachers, who need stimulating environment to nurture and experiment innovative ideas. Ultimately, it is the head of the institution who makes or mars. He should be the one who believes in:
Working yet not taking credit
Leading yet not dominating
Creating without claiming ownership
Guiding without interfering.
I take this opportunity to approach you with the proposal for the following services:
A. Setting up the school- building and infra-structure

B. Selection of Staff and Principal

C. Guidance and Supervision
