What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and supports student growth.

I am Rachael Chapman, an Intervention Specialist with a strong commitment to fostering inclusive educational environments. With a Bachelor of Science from Bowling Green State University, I have honed my skills in implementing tailored lesson plans that cater to diverse learning needs. My experience spans across various educational settings, including my current role as a Kindergarten Teacher at Applewood Elementary School, where I meticulously document student progress and collaborate with colleagues to enhance learning outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of Special Education processes, including writing and implementing IEPs, ETRs, BIPs, and FBAs. My dedication to building meaningful relationships with students and their families has been pivotal in creating a supportive learning atmosphere. I have also facilitated family engagement events, ensuring that parents are actively involved in their children's education. My goal is to continue making a positive impact in the lives of students by providing them with the resources and support they need to thrive.
