•Consistently praised for dedication, reliability, organization and effectiveness as one of school district's most in-demand substitutes. Filled in for permanent teachers at a moment's notice; closely adhered to lesson plans; and kept students motivated, engaged and focused.
•Repeatedly selected as a long-term substitute for teachers on maternity or extended medical leave.
•Frequently subbed for absent ESL/ESOL, high school Spanish and special education teachers as one of the few substitute teachers qualified in these areas. Showed resourcefulness and teaching effectiveness in meeting the needs of students with limited English language proficiency as well as learning disabilities.
•Voluntarily stepped in to run several after-school programs (e.g., girls' volleyball coaching, cheerleading coaching and after-school tutoring) when permanent teachers were unable to fill these roles.
•Incorporated technology into students' learning activities for varied academic disciplines. Efforts proved so successful in enhancing student understanding of material that they resulted in invitation to lead districtwide teacher in-service on "Technology Integration across the Curriculum."
