About

I am writing to apply for the Science teacher position- Chemistry/ Biology in the United states of America. With 18+ years of classroom leadership, a national track record in STEM program design, and a sustained 85%+ pass rate in KCSE Chemistry and Biology, I bring a rare combination of subject mastery, institutional leadership, and proven ability to build programs that scale.
At Cardinal Otunga Mosocho High School, I currently lead a teacher welfare department of 150 teaching staff serving 2,700+ learners, where my mentorship initiatives reduced teacher turnover by 25% over three years and my restorative-practice framework cut disciplinary incidents by 37%. I have served as a National Chemistry Examiner with the Kenya National Examinations Council since 2015, giving me direct insight into assessment design and the standards your strongest candidates will need to meet.
Beyond the classroom, I have built and led one of Kenya's most successful co-curricular programs. As National Head of the Chess in Schools Program, I grew student participation 567% — from 3,000 to 20,000 learners across 47 counties — and certified 400+ teachers as chess coaches and arbiters. I have served as Head of Delegation for Team Kenya at six international competitions, most recently the 2026 Commonwealth Chess Championships in Sri Lanka, representing the country's students on a global stage. This experience reflects exactly the kind of program-building, leadership, and student-development impact I would bring to United states county schools and classrooms where i will be given an opportunity to serve.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience in curriculum leadership, staff and student welfare, and national program management can contribute to United states education goals.

I have attached my CV for your review and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Saphinah Moraa Kenyando
