Activities Coordinator Resume Example
My parents were both special education teachers, my sister is a speech pathologist and my brother works as a job coach for adults with disabilities. Helping people and going out of your way for others is in my families DNA. I have three years experience running and supervising a classroom for 15 adults with a variety of disabilities and ages. I was in charge of planning all lessons, activities and trips for my classroom. Throughout my three years I realized that I had a natural gift in developing routines, lessons and activities that were both fun, interesting, informative and engaging for my students. Teaching and caring for others is something that is inherent in me. It is something that I thrive doing and it is what I was put on this planet to do. I am a highly motivated, intelligent person who is never satisfied with their position and who will always strive for more. In the coming years, I hope to continue to better myself by attaining either a P.H.D. or E.D.D. in one of several different educational fields. I feel as though I have the leadership ability and capacity to have a drastic positive impact on the students, teachers, administrators and parents surrounding me.
