Home: 302-398-4398 ~ Cell: 302-272-1629
OBJECTIVE:
To serve the individuals with Special Needs to set and achieve their goals, providing
the access and support they need on an individual basis.
SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS:
I have completed over twenty-four years of teaching in Maryland and Delaware
Public Schools, including fifteen years as a Special Education classroom teacher.
My skills include flexibility and the knowledge necessary to readily assume
teaching duties in several areas. I lived in Europe for five years and have ministered
in American Service Centers and in indigenous German, Italian, Scottish, British and
Dutch churches during my European Bible Seminary education. I understand the
challenges of adjusting to living and learning cross-culturally
My experience with and understanding of Deaf culture and fluency in American
Sign Language would prove invaluable in working with Deaf students or in giving
instruction in American Sign Language.
I have taught English Language Arts and Math in middle and high school
settings for most of my career. Since I have had experience teaching students with
learning and emotional difficulties, I feel I could be an effective resource person in
helping implement their plans and work with the inter-disciplinary team.
I worked as a Program Manager with Dorchester Developmental Unit for 6
years with developmentally disabled adults as Recreation Coordinator and as
Program Director.
