Special Education Self Contained teacher for 12 years ... New Teacher Mentor ... Social Emotional Learning Coach
As a special educator I am always keeping my students at the center of all my instructional plans! In our classroom we do small group work for academics because of the wide range of abilities in my classroom. I love incorporating choice making, mindfulness, culturally relevant and responsive activities, visuals, and student input into everything we do together.
