Plan ahead to request letters of recommendation from your references to allow them plenty of time to write what you request. You want references from professionals who can attest to your work as a student and a teacher. Explain to your recommenders what you are applying for so that they can be specific. It can be helpful to your references to have a copy of your resume. They may not be aware of all your accomplishments.
Some school systems have specific questions for references to respond to.
Be sure to follow up by sending your references thank you notes. Unofficial Transcripts You may obtain a free copy of your transcript from the Registrar's Office. Make a copy of your original transcript each time you mail your credentials. Some employers will ask for an official transcript later in the selection process if they are considering you seriously. You will then obtain a new form from the Registrar's Office and request that an official transcript be sent directly to the employer.
