Special Education Teacher Resume Example

I am a MSDE certified Special Education Teacher who has obtained broad experience in working with students with multiple disabilities, especially students with severe emotional disturbance. I have had the opportunity to work in multiple settings, including co-teaching, self-contained classrooms, inclusion classrooms, and regular education. My strengths include (but aren't limited to), crisis intervention, developing and implementing lessons based on student needs, assessment data, and diverse learning styles, maintaining a safe, structured, and positive learning environment, addressing student needs using their identified strengths, and encouraging parent participation throughout the learning process. I am currently seeking a position that will provide me with an opportunity to develop and transform learners' minds and attitudes towards learning. I enjoy collaborating with and learning from my colleagues and hope to continue to develop my practice in an environment in which academic vigor and social/emotional development is highly valued. I believe my professional training and experience will make me a valuable and highly qualified addition to your school. I think you will find that I possess the experience, knowledge, patience, and dedication needed to work with this special population. Thank you for the time spent reviewing my resume. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you personally. Sincerely, Deborah A. Gaines As an dedicated and certified Special Education Teacher, I would like to utilize my broad experience with this population to educate students in an environment where student strengths can be developed and used to address academic, social, and emotional needs, based on Individual Education Plans, using comprehensive lessons and individualized behavioral supports.
