Sedalia, MO Street Address
EMAIL AVAILABLEPHONE NUMBER AVAILABLEEnjoyed teaching all of my life. As a student, my teachers would let me help with struggling students so long as I didn't simply tell them the answer. This led me to a Degree in Business-Personnel Management in 1986, ( minored in Marketing and Communication), and eventually ran and managed companies in the field of Flooring and Maintenance. Selling is a form of teaching; and advocating for the rights and needs of the disabled, is a passion of mine. It's important to me that I find a job where my Education Certifications, in Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education Cross Cat. Mild to Moderate, are required or helpful in the proper performance of service to others.

Am also responsible for meeting the guidelines of the Marshall, MO public School District and the Model of Care for students at Great Circle. For almost 2 years, was the Master of Ceremonies on "Funday Fridays" which was a team building, spirit-lifting, weekly event in the morning, where we recognized kid's achievements, and the kids would perform. As an entertainer, being in front of a large group is very natural to me, just like teaching. My most significant accomplishments in teaching come from the large number of clients whom I was able to square away into productive students who were regulated and able to either re-enter regular classrooms or go home. Am comfortable with the IEP process, and appreciate the goal writing and recording process as well as the accommodations and modification pages as the "how-to" of instruction for our students. My classrooms often had children from 8 to 18 with multiple learning levels. Diversified and scaffolded lesson plans are handy in any classroom and with all students and most subject matters. Small Business OwnerBreshears Family Carpet aka Your Mama's Carpet Cleaner - Kansas City, MO January 2011 to December 2014My low moisture Steam Extraction mobile carpet cleaning plant, would have been more successful if my Yellow Pages ad would have printed my correct phone number. It didn't and I lost a year or more of business building in the middle of my most productive years. I cleaned and installed carpet for over 10 years in my business but failed to re-invest in my capital equipment in a timely manner. By the time my van was depreciated fully, I was unable to re-invest and was forced to close the business. While cleaning and installing carpet was something I was good at, it was the people I was serving and helping that made the job worth doing. Public service is my calling, and carpet cleaning was no longer an option.
