Dear Dr. Silverstein:
I am extremely honored to be among the finalists for the position of Assistant
Chairperson in District 43. Our meetings have convinced me that it would be a
genuine pleasure to work with you as well as the members of your staff.
To assist you with what may be a difficult selection process, let me summarize
the expertise I have acquired during my 18-year career in Special Education:
-Diagnostic and prescriptive evaluations
-Case management

-Team facilitation
-Development of IEPs and individualized curricula
-Mainstreaming

-Staff training
-Parent counseling
-Child advocacy
-Coordination of therapeutic ancillary services
-Preparation of proposals for federal, state, and private grants

I gained this diverse experience working with mentally retarded, emotionally
handicapped, and multiply handicapped children from preschool age to age 21.
It would be a pleasure to bring to CSE-43 my familiarity and hands-on
contributions in each of these vital areas. If there is any other information you
require, please let me know. I would be happy to return for additional
interviews at any time.
Thank you again for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Helen Cavinaw Holtswoman
