Legend:
Primary responsibilities
Administrator
Head of English department
Teacher
The head of the English department would oversea all stages of the program to ensure correct usage.
The head of the English department may request that teachers contribute to exam preparation in the initial stages.
The administrator will ensure that teachers are provided with all record keeping documents when needed, and ensure that teachers provide all completed tests and record sheets by the necessary deadlines.
Teachers will ensure daily lesson plans are prepared at least one week in advance.
Teachers will mark all home work and work sheets, and then give them to the administrator who will file then in individual student folders; these will be presented to the parents along with the mid term and end term reports.

Now is the ideal time to install this program and train key staff members in its use.
I am available at this time and can offer to demonstrate the effectiveness of my system to you free of charge!
Should you decide to go ahead and have me install the system and train your staff in its use I will be willing to negotiate a suitable fee for my services at that time.

Yours sincerely
