Accomplishments
Used Microsoft Excel to develop inventory tracking spreadsheets.
Worked closely with a diverse group of team members to create and implement multiple Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) tailored to meet the unique needs of each student. This involved conducting thorough assessments, gathering input from educators and parents, and ensuring that the programs adhered to best practices and legal requirements. Regular meetings were held to review progress and make necessary adjustments to support student success. Successfully facilitated the transition of students from special education by providing the necessary support and resources to engage them in a less restrictive educational environment. This approach enabled them to participate alongside their peers in a more inclusive setting.
