Application/Referral question

by LiteracyRocks

Feb 8, 2018

I hope I'm not driving anyone crazy with what seems like simple questions! This process is just so different from anything else I've experienced! I so appreciate the patience that I've been treated with so far! You're all amazing! My question today has to do with my references (professional evaluations.) I was excited today to see that my quals were finished and there were no issues in the three areas I listed. Then I walked into the office and one of my references, not my direct principal, but my supervisor in another school position stopped me. He said, "That form was really short. I think I submitted it without saying as much as I should have. I thought there was going to be more after I submitted, but that was it! It just sent!" Should I worry? Should I try to have him resubmit, or request he receive another email? Or should I just hope the other two do a better job?

haha Tough to say. As long as he rated you highly, then the abbreviated comments shouldn't really be a big deal. It shouldn't keep you from getting on a referral list or getting an interview. If you make it that far they will likely contact your references by email/phone anyway for further feedback.

On the other hand, if it is stressing you, it...See More

HelpOthers You can request up to four evaluations, so just list this person as the fourth one. Use a different spelling or phone number, so when this person says the reference has been updated, you can delete the previous one.

HelpOthers For example, use or don't use a title or middle name/initial for the person or put the area code in parenthesis this time, or don't if ou did it last time. The information for both is correct, but slightly different so you know which one to delete.
