Created and implemented individualized lesson plans for elementary-aged students identified with Learning Disabilities. Participated in bi-weekly Multi-Disciplinary Team Meetings. Developed collegial relationships with MDT members, regular education staff, paraprofessionals and administrators. Provided a calm, compassionate presence when initially meeting parents / guardians of identified students, welcomed and responded to questions and concerns, and offered a solid foundation for future interactions. Adapted learning strategies for individual students when needed. Initiated weekly written communication with each student’s parent / guardian. Continually assessed each student’s academic progress and worked to remove barriers to learning.
