Ruth Cortez 500 N. Atlantic Blvd. Apt. 105 Alhambra CA 91801 To whom it may concern: I read with interest your posting in the Education field. I believe I possess the necessary skills and experienced you are seeking and would make a valuable addition to your school industry. As indicated on my resume, I possess over a year in the Educational field. My professional history includes a position as an Instructional Assistant Special Education RSP for Arcadia Unified School District, a Child Care Provider for Baldwin Park Unified School District, a One on One with Special Education for San Gabriel Unified School District as well as a Speech Pathologist Assistant for El Monte City School District and as a Teacher Assistant for Los Angeles Unified School District. As a Teacher Assistant for L.A. Unified many of my responsibilities were to assist the teachers with thirty plus kids. Manage engaging activities; assist with the lesson plans for the following week and following vigorous details for upcoming parent teacher conferences and report cards. Working for San Gabriel Unified School District was a slight change. As a one on one with special education I had some what same responsibilities and exciting changes. I got to work with a well establish group that help meet the goals for many of the children there. My input was to help see through that the child was accomplishing his/her set goals for the school year. I was given the opportunity to work at various schools site as a Speech Pathologist Assistance for the El Monte City Elementary School District. My responsibility as the assistant was to give various children therapy either as a one on one or group. However, the main goal was to help the children reach the goal set by the Speech Pathologist. Taking well written detail notes of each individual seasons and/or group, and meeting with the Speech Pathologist about each individual child progress. However, my most recent endeavor is working as an Instructional Assistant Special Education (RSP) for Arcadia Unified School District. Some of my responsibilities are but not limited to creating lesson plans for my reading group, helping the children reach their IEP goals and maintain a safe environment for the class, due to the fact that many of my children have mild to severe autism behavior. I have attached my resume for your review and I look forward to speaking with you regarding your availability position. Sincerely, Ruth Cortez Enclosure
