SPECIAL SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

Working in Special Education at many different levels, teaching overseas, and negotiating teacher

contracts have given me a diverse background. I possess strong human relations skills and have the

ability to work well in high pressure situations. I am currently consulting with a district to implement a

new teacher evaluation system here in Illinois, based on the Danielson Framework, for a variety of special

education positions.

My most recent nine-year career as the Director of the Leyden Area Special Education Cooperative has

provided me with the ultimate Special Education administrative experience. I have enjoyed working with a

vast number of children, parents, teachers, counselors, deans, administrators and special educators. The

experience has afforded me the opportunity to develop skills in the following areas:

• Administration of Special Ed programs

• Supervision

• Curriculum Based Assessments

• Allocation of Related Services

• Private Placements

• Due Process/Conflict Mediation

• Team Functioning

• Home/Hospital programs

• Student Teaching and Clinical

Experiences

• Transition Plans/Voc Services

• Extended Year Programs (Summer

School)

• Functional Analysis

• Assistive Technology

• Positive Behavioral Supports
