| Robertson County Board of Education, 2121 Woodland St. Springfield Tn,37172, 8th Grade Resource Teacher, August of 2008 to Present |
- As a Special Education Teacher, I work with disabled students in eighth grade. While doing this I use a variety of instruction methods and adaptive tools to teach disabled students. The students I would instruct range from mild learning difficulties to severe and chronic physical and mental impairments. As an educator, I also collaborate with school administrators, other teachers and parents to design independent education plans (IEPs) that set unique educational goals for disabled students. In a days time, I will assist moderately disabled students in standard classes with non-disabled children. I am trained to assist staff in the management of student behavior by applying proactive strategies that are district approved techniques for verbal de-escalation and safe physical restraint, such as Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) training.
