To Whom It May Concern:

It is with considerable interest that I endorse my resume for a Life Skills Teaching position with
the Southwest Independent School District. I am confident you will find that my commitment for
education and hands-on experience will be a positive asset to your school district.

As a well-rounded educator, I have had the chance to teach a diverse group of students with
different abilities. During my time in Texas A&Ms Special Education Program I worked with
students with autism, learning disabilities, noncompliant behavior, speech impairments and
English language learners. As a result, I have gained an abundance of knowledge on
accommodating and modifying curriculum to meet students individual needs.

I encourage student learning by establishing a safe classroom environment and incorporating

various forms of technology, hands-on activities and real-life examples in my lessons. These
methods helped stimulate students social, emotional, and academic growth. In addition, I utilize
these strategies to introduce new concepts and foster an exciting engaging classroom
atmosphere.

During student teaching I was able to identify my strengths. One of my strengths is creating
strong student-teacher relationships. This was done by talking to the students about their likes
and dislikes and incorporating them in their lessons. Another strength I have is accommodating
my lesson to the students individual needs. Furthermore, these strengths helped me establish a
safe and productive classroom climate during my student teaching experience.

I would enjoy the opportunity to meet with you personally to discuss my qualification and
credentials in further detail. Thank you for your time and please contact me at you earliest
convenience.

Sincerely,

Cynthia J. Trejo
