Certified Elementary School Teacher N-6
Dedicated elementary teacher, with an extensive literacy background, is eager to resume a full
time teaching position after substituting for three years in grades N-12 in regular and special
education. Proven track record of commended performance in all subject areas with cultural, racial,
and socio-economical diverse populations in both urban and rural settings.
Establish high expectations for students; continuously seek out ways to improve instruction,
through workshops, professional reading, and research, to equip children with the tools, resources,
and knowledge to exceed individual goals. Strong interpersonal skills have established strong
bonds with students, parents, colleagues, and administrators to instill a shared commitment to
quality education. Regarded as a key resource and problem solver, even as a substitute, I have
participated in staff development, coached colleagues and student teachers, assisted principals in
developing resources for Common Core Standards, and conducted demonstrations on literacy
instruction across the content areas.

the administration in meeting the districts goals in areas including literacy, integrating

Additional Information
Hired as a full time teacher as soon as I left college and continued for 20 years in NY until my
husband decided he wanted to start a new career and we moved to PA. I love teaching and I am
not looking for a salary commensurate with my teaching experience or what I earned in NY.
Substituting just doesn’t compare to having your own classroom where you can truly engage with
your students and collegues.
