  1. Jay,
    My first impression would be concerns with the placement of items related to "coaching" then "teaching" followed again by "coaching". My thoughts, unless you are aspiring to be an AD would be to move the first set of "coaching" to after teaching and integrate with the second "coaching". I'm not sure that it is necessary to indicate that you implemented IMPACT for concussions since it is pretty much required. The stat type references regarding 3-pointers would be relevant for an AD/Basketball vita but not for a principal/superintendent vita. However, as they are probably an important part of your identity would a link to the stat program that you use to compile that data be appropriate? Of course the conference title speaks to leadership, relationships, and work ethic but filtered through principal/superintendent maybe the other bullets are not as critical.
    Respectfully,
    SEG
