• We decided to relocate to the beautiful city of Hertford in Albemarle Plantation. I have desperately missed working with and contributing to the success of staff and students.
• I am looking forward to putting my knowledge and experience to work and eager to learn and grow in the position.

I focused my energy on the renovation our home and putting it on the market to sell. I chose to end my contract with Virginia Beach Public Schools due to a move to NYC with my husband's work. This move never took place due to the Covid 19 virus epidemic.

• I collaborated with the speech pathologist and specialists to collect data on each student's progress.

• I was responsible for working in the Exceptional Education office implementing, organizing and scheduling all of the individual education plan meetings and multi-purpose referral meetings in the entire school. That included coordinating with all parents, special education teachers, case managers, department chairs, administrators and any itinerant or specialist that would need to be involved in the process. I also organized any translators that would need to translate for the parents during these meetings. I was very involved with proctoring different state mandated testing that took place throughout the school year. I assisted the students that required certain accommodations noted on their Individual Education Plans. I created letters and documents for administrators and parents as well as maintaining the scheduling calendar for the exceptional education department. I am fully trained in Sea Stars and SASI, which are programs, used by Fairfax County Public Schools and Individual Education Plans. I am also very familiar with Word, Outlook and PowerPoint programs.
• I was responsible for the maintenance of the confidential IEP files, issued passes when needed, responded to transcript request including word and data processing. I worked in the classroom supporting the lead teacher when necessary. I have participated in in-service trainings throughout the years at SCHS and also participated in paraprofessional training every year.

• I assisted the exceptional education lead teacher in implementing classroom instruction to students with low incidence autism. I assisted the teacher with the management of the classroom using picture education communication system to help students improve communication skills among each other and in the community. I was very involved with the work and transition program by accompanying the students on job sites and monitored their progress and goals through data collection beyond secondary education. I supported the teacher as we improved the students' life skills and prepared them for life beyond high school. I have attended Mandt Training System and also Applied Behavior Analysis training throughout the county. I was a club sponsor for a club called Partners Club. This club fostered special education student's relationships with students of the general population throughout the school. This program was highly successful and was a privilege to be a part of.

• Assisted lead P.E. teacher in implementing lesson plans and facilitating large class instruction, enhancing student engagement. Contributed to implementation of statewide fitness test for 3rd-5th grade students and prepared detailed reports to track student progress.
