just be aware, in english "pat on the back from management" sounds sarcastic and like you don't like management. If you want to genuinely express this, maybe try "earn me some recognition from management"

if you mean fence as in someone you sell stolen goods to, keep in mind many (probably the majority) of people don't know this word. You have used it correctly though
“Her teaching style is like no other.

"experimental", unless you meant a curriculum filled with experiments (instead of, for example, lectures and homework)
If need be, the school board will tenprovider additional resources.”
tender is an unusually "officialese" word here. I would use just 'offer' or 'provide' instead.
Also, 'if need be' has a slight negative connotation, like something's insufficient. Example: "I already have a lot to do on Saturday, but if need be, I can help you move also." It is implied that you don't really want to help but will *if it comes to that.* Using 'if need be' here makes it sound like the teacher is on her own and receiving help from the school board would create a problem.
I suggest 'if necessary' as a replacement.

strong use of idioms, but some are used in contexts I think aren't perfect fits. Disclaimer: these are just my feelings about your idiom usage and others will have other opinions about what an idiomatic phrase 'really means'
