CCSD Human Resources:

Thank you for taking the time to review my résumé. I am applying for a special education position in

the Clark County School District. I have received my B.A. at Nevada State College in Elementary

Education with an emphasis in special education. My rewarding experiences working with children

who have Autism have inspired me to become a special education teacher.

My student teaching took place at Robert Taylor Elementary school in a resource room and in a third

grade immersion classroom. My student teaching has made me more efficient in developing

Individualized Education plans, handling behaviors, connecting with parents, and modifying

materials and lessons so that each student can learn effectively. I have tutored children who have

Autism, using Applied Behavior Analysis strategies. These experiences have provided me with an

abundance of behavior management skills that are very effective. I feel ready to take on a classroom

by myself and would feel honored if given this opportunity.

Being part of the Clark County School District would be a great place to continue delivering my

teaching skills that I have gained through various teaching experiences. I can offer students a role

model who will push them to believe in their potential and motivate them to continue learning. My

ability to effectively control behaviors and find ways of teaching the Common Core standards to a

diverse group of students is excellent.

I have lived all around the Clark County School District area, attended a lot of schools, and have

personally seen the effect that amazing teachers have on the lives of many students. I would love to

become a part of that community! Please feel free to contact me for an interview.

Respectfully,

Catherine Bethell
