Re: Danielle Giles

March 5, 2016

To whom it may concern,


I have known Danielle for several years now as her immediate supervisor and originally hired her,
something I would not hesitate to do again if the opportunity arose.
In the years she has worked at TCIS I have been amazed at the speed with which she anticipates
student, parent and teacher needs. She has worked at a very high level of leadership and is capable
of leading from an administrative perspective. I have observed her respond, react and delegate in an
effective and compassionate manner. Danielle handles challenges in a direct and professional
manner that illustrates a great deal of reflection.
This past year she has taken on the role of a newly emerging Student Services Department with the
task of leading and managing five counselors who reflect three distinct language groups at our school;
Thai, Chinese , and English. She has put into place systems and procedures for handling everything
from lower school counseling to college preparation, while at the same time creating a vehicle for
corporate history. Danielle was the leader of one of the four major focus groups responsible for
obtaining school accreditation, leading and organizing a committee comprised of
teachers/students/parents/Board Members and Upper Administration. She was highly successful.
In order to keep in touch with firsthand experience with children, Danielle also committed to teaching
English Units at the Middle School and teaching Second Steps program at the lower school. She is a
natural teacher and positively beams when interacting with children.
Danielles role as a Faculty Advisor representative was handled with tact and diplomacy, especially in
dealing with Administration on sensitive Human Resources issues. This garnered her trust and
respect of staff and administration.
On a humanistic note, Danielle has managed to do this and more while at the same time living in a
foreign culture and having a child. She has managed to maintain a healthy balance between
professional responsibilities and the more important role of family development.
Danielle has the highest commendation I have ever given in 35 years and I would have no doubt of
her continuing to grow and develop as a leader and teacher.
Respectfully,
