Dear Jason Kemp,
I would like to reach out to you and express my interest in becoming a part of your team. It would be an honor to put all my strengths and efforts in to helping students achieve their goals. I have attached my resume to give insight on my skills that would be beneficial to your team.
I am a motivated individual with strong dreams of being a teacher. I am excited to be applying to Stitó:s Lá:lém Totí:lt as a full time education assistant. I am a great candidate that holds a positive attitude as well as a strong passion to work in the field of education. As I would like to grow, I'd like to foster a positive learning environment. I am eager to contribute to the student's academic, behavioural and emotional growth, as well as mine.
While in my practicum, the first couple weeks, I was alternating between shadowing and hands-on experience with other EAs, showing that I am capable of working as a team. I worked with 4 students, two students were nonverbal and had Autism, one low functioning Autism with challenges in verbal communication and one was physically challenged due to health which affected his intellectual development. I have worked with a diverse group of students. Some have Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, complex behaviours and more. I have also been academic support in classrooms, providing help to the students as desired. I have proved that I am capable of creating healthy and meaningful connections between the students and I have done facilitated reading (read to me) and math groups, lunch supervision, provided social and emotional support with 'check ins' with all students and collaborated ideas and techniques, also making healthy connections with the staff. Using all my previous and current knowledge, I will do everything with my best effort to contribute to the inclusive environment that has been set by your school. I am passionate in what I do and thrive in collaborative atmospheres as such.
Thank you so much for your time, I am looking forward to hearing back from you. Please take your time as your time is valued. I can be reached at either anisah_ali@sd33.bc.ca or 6046553748., Thank you again, Anisah Ali.
