Dear Resume Review Committee,

My name is Teresa McGraner Scarmack and I am a highly qualified educator in the state of Ohio. I have taught in both public and private schools and hold a license to teach students in grades K-8. I also hold a license as an Intervention Specialist, Mild-Moderate K-12. I am interested in expanding my career and I am highly qualified to assume the position of Intervention Specialist PK - 12. My years of working in a variety of school districts as a classroom educator have provided me with the professional development necessary to fulfill this role in the State of Ohio. My current teaching position with the Athens-Meigs Educational Service Center as an Intervention Specialist in an ED classroom has provided me with the opportunity to work with students on a daily basis. I have administered IEPs and have planned for educational activities to prepare them ofr their next year in school. I have been trained in Conflict Resolution and Non-Violent Crisis Intervention program. I am certified by the National CPR Foundation.

My educational career has led me to become a Master Teacher with the Logan Hocking School District and I have participated in graduate study at Ohio University in Educational Administration. I renewed my teaching license in 2013 and have recently received my license to teach students with special needs. I also have a Master’s degree in education from Marygrove College and a Master’s degree in Special Education from Ohio University. I am interested in speaking with you about this career opportunity with the Athens City Schools to share my experiences and skills related to teaching students with special needs. I have a broad range of skills in classroom teaching and preparing Individualized Education Program (IEP) documents. I have served on teams to share IEPs with the students, the parent(s) and with the school personnel. I have participated in assessments with and without accommodations for students in small group environments as well as in the classroom setting. I recently attended an IEP training in Columbus to review changes in the law and processes associated with the drafting of IEPs for students. I have served a caseload of up to 24 students in the past school year and have taught six instructional periods in the resource room environment.

My current licensure includes:

5 Year Senior Professional Educator (K-8) License #OS1044201

5 Year Professional Intervention Specialist (K-12) License #OS21074145

I am a strong leader, excellent communicator and a creative thinker and I believe I would be an asset to your organization and the Ohio Department of Education. I have achieved Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT) status with the Ohio Department of Education as a K-8 teacher and a 9-12 teacher of Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies. During the past school year, I have been teaching Science (Biology, Physical Science and Honors Biology) and Math (Developmental Algebra, Continuing Algebra, Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry and Trigonometry) I have taught students in the traditional method of using a textbook, hands-on activities, games and worksheets in the classroom setting as well as computer education software, PEAK as an individualized learning process.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have regarding employment with the Athens City School District. I have applied to become a substitute teacher and may have an employment file in your office. Thank you for your time and consideration and I will look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Teresa M. Scarmack
