I began my career in education as a substitute teacher in special education classrooms, moved up to classroom assistant/paraprofessional, then to classroom teacher, primarily with children on the Autism Spectrum. I taught for 3.5 years in a charter school for students with Autism and Developmental Disabilities and have been teaching in traditional public schools for 10 years. When I created my TpT store, I was teaching on the A-Team. That's what our school referred to the four Autism classrooms, which were part of our district's Autims program. In 2019 I began a new position in a new district as a LD/Resource teacher. I still have the opportunity to work with students on the Autism spectrum, but work with students K-5 in Reading, Writing, and Math with various abilities and disabilities.
I created this store as a way to share the things I create to use in my own classroom. As a full-time teacher and full-time single mom, I am not prolific in creating content, but when I do provide something, it's because I have or am using it with my own students. I hope what you find here is helpful to you in your own classrooms.
