the letter of recommendation is achance to have a 'second resume' to back up the first. therefore, fill it with what responsibilities you had in your job, and how you excelled at them. talk about any difficult challenges (in the classroom, and outside it adapting to an exotic life) and how you overcame them. lastly, if you did something you think is good, ssuch as a particularly effective lesson plan, resolved a classroom dispute, or whatever, then put that in there too.
the point is to show what you are capable of, what skills you gained, and what challenges you beat.
just remember, something you may think is trivial can be important to someone who is not in your line of work, so don't be afraid to state the 'obvious'.
