Summary

I have been an educator of students with special learning needs for more than 40 years. Most recently, I taught a class in the Escambia School District as a long term substitute. I am adept at encouraging student engagement through innovative lesson plans and effective classroom management. Skilled in multi-subject instruction and records management, I utilize adaptability and attention to detail to enhance learning outcomes and support diverse student needs. The fact that I have been a teacher makes me a good candidate for the library clerk position, particularly in the areas of record keeping/management and multitasking. I am proficient in carrying out basic clerical skills, including filing, writing reports, and basic computer skills. I have a working knowledge of library principles and methods of organization.
