To Whom It May Concern:
Ever since I started college, I have been passionate in my commitment to three things: maximizing individual student performance, inspiring students interest in an independent life, and instilling a sense of self-worth among all students. I have dedicated my school career to each, as my resume will demonstrate. I was excited to find a job opening in the Chandler Unified School District because both as a grade school student in Gilbert and an adult in the Phoenix area, I have only heard positive sentiments about the district as a whole. The positive reputation, dedicated staff, impressive Special Education programs, and growing technology incorporated into instruction has drawn me to have a strong desire to work at a Chandler Unified School. My qualifications include a dual degree in Elementary and Special Education. I have spent two years interning and student teaching in a variety of classrooms, taking the time to observe and learn techniques from these experienced teachers. This past year, I have spent fifteen weeks in a Self Contained Autism classroom, where my love and desire for the position truly flourished. I worked tirelessly to create new, rigorous, but level-appropriate folder tasks, lessons, and job placements for our students. I am currently spending fifteen weeks in a mainstream third grade classroom where my classroom management skills and subject area knowledge has already grown vastly. Thank you for your interest and consideration in my candidacy. I look forward to hearing from you. It would be an honor to be a Chandler Unified staff member.
Sincerely,
Katie Barton
