About the store
I am an Education Specialist with over 18 years experience in teaching a Special Day Class (the last four years in a juvenile detention facility) for students from 8th - 12th grade. I am the ELD lead at our school and have won many awards over the years. I design core curriculum lesson plans that are fun and interactive for all grade levels. I am currently working on a program that is going to change the way that incarcerated youth are taught. I have trained many student teachers to go on and be successful Special Education Teachers. I am currently designing a group of lesson plans for Transition and Career Education. I film my students presenting various lesson plan activities. The students love being filmed while they're singing, dancing and just celebrating the learning experience!
