I would teach elementary school subjects to children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in grades 2-5. Previously at ABC, taught middle school students with special needs and learning differences within special education classrooms and inclusive general education settings. Key Contributions:

·         Recognized for teaching excellence, enthusiastic instruction and “above-and-beyond” commitment to maximizing learning outcomes and student success.

·         Selected as special education team lead at ABC and as peer mentor at XYZ. Coached teachers in best practices for curriculum modification, IEP design, lesson planning, instructional delivery, learner evaluation, classroom management and safe behavioral intervention strategies for learning-different and special needs students.

·         Authored grant that secured $15K in federal funds for the purchase of assistive technologies for special education students used to bolster learner engagement, understanding and subject mastery.

·         Led “buddy” program partnering special and general education teachers and students in the same classroom for selected subjects. Improved grade-level performance of special needs and general population students by an average of 12% and 5%, respectively, while advancing school goals of increased tolerance/acceptance.
