This is my seventeenth year of teaching. The first eleven years, I worked with high school students with mild disabilities. This will be my sixth year of teaching third grade, and my first year teaching with a license in high ability education! I've enjoyed both teaching assignments, but felt I was not meeting the needs of my high ability/gifted students within the general education classroom. That's when I started the pursuit of my Master's in Elementary Education with a High Ability License. Last summer I completed my license, and I try to use my skills to better assist all my third graders!
