I feel putting the ego aside is beneficial. The hiring committee can review a resume and ask questions accordingly. Personally I would be honest and stress that every aspect of being an educator is about meeting the needs of the students. As and ESE teacher, it is my responsibility to give 100% to my students. I would save the flowery prose and self accolades for a different setting, and focus on the obligations of being a teacher.
I 100% agree with you! Confidence is key!
