Teaching style

My classroom is highly organized and structured to promote independence, communication, and socialization. An individualistic approach is used to manage the classroom in order to meet the specific needs of each of my students. It is a place for my students to learn where to be, what to do and how to do it. Visual supports are used throughout my classroom to promote appropriate classroom behavior, independent skills, communication skills, social skills and academic skills. I've used these supports in my classroom for years and I've watched my students (including the most challenging) understand and learn with them. Even my students who are non-verbal or have limited language can interact with the curriculum using these supports. The visual supports also provide the structure they need to understand classroom expectations.

My own education history

I am a certified Learning Behavior Specialist with a Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Development and a Masters Degree in General Administration.

Additional biographical information

I'm a visual learner so it helps me "see" how my students learn best.
