In my recent position I taught third and fourth grade curricula. I established an effective
classroom management plan that was conducive to learning. I developed and enforced
this plan in order to maintain a safe and orderly environment. I not only focused on the
cognitive development of the students but also addressed the social and emotional
learning by employing techniques like positive reinforcement. For me, it is extremely
important to maintain good communication with all stakeholders. I have attended
Admission Review and Dismissal (ARD) meetings with parents, administrators, testing
specialists, social workers, and professionals to develop individual educational plans
designed to meet students educational needs. Special educational strategies and
techniques were consistently deployed during my instruction. I have the knowledge and
skills to modify the general education curriculum for special needs students based on a
variety of instructional strategies. In my past employment, I have worked closely with the
special education teacher to coordinate placement of students with special needs into
mainstream classes. Professional growth is something that I highly value and as such, I
have attended various workshops to improve my professional competence. These
workshops were beneficial in that they allowed me to provide parents and guardians with
community resources that would teach them skills to assist with their childs disability. As
an enthusiastic volunteer, I have participated in the various extra curricular activities the
school hosted.
Although I have enjoyed teaching at Ysleta School District, my husband has been given
orders to be stationed in Rhode Island. I am eager to continue my teaching career and
would be delighted to interview for this opportunity.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Vanessa De La Pea
