diversity.
• Taught general education students as well as individuals with learning challenges and special needs within
a mainstreamed, inclusive classroom.
• Consistently commended for ability to redirect students exhibiting behavior problems by replacing
disruptive, unproductive patterns with positive behaviors. As a result, selected to lead district-wide in-
service on classroom management.
• Actively served on a variety of school committees and task forces focused on curriculum development,
textbook review, fundraising and anti-bullying efforts.
• Established positive relationships with students, parents, fellow teachers and school administrators/staff.
• Quickly became a “first-to-call” resource in current substitute teaching role, typically working four days
