About the store
We have a total of twenty-six years between the two of us. Our teaching record is quite diverse. Believe it or not, I actually began as a physical education teacher. While teaching P.E. I began to realize that I enjoyed the health portion of the curriculum far more than my time spent on the hardwood. So, I went back to school for special education and never looked back. I have been teaching in an LRC setting for the past 7 years and I've loved every minute of it. Nydia began as a general education teacher and later received her Masters in a Special Education. She is currently a middle school teacher.

Experience

We have a total of twenty-six years between the two of us. Our teaching record is quite diverse. Believe it or not, I actually began as a physical education teacher. While teaching P.E. I began to realize that I enjoyed the health portion of the curriculum far more than my time spent on the hardwood. So, I went back to school for special education and never looked back. I have been teaching in an LRC setting for the past 7 years and I've loved every minute of it. Nydia began as a general education teacher and later received her Masters in a Special Education. She is currently a middle school teacher.

Teaching style

Technological Motivator. Adding a strong visual components to core content can increase motivation in all students exponentially. Although originally designed for our special education classes, our materials seem to be great for both cognitive and visual learners alike.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I never gloat. Oh Okay, but just this once. This year, I have received my first teacher of the year award. My business partner (Co-Teacher) and I are also both Google Certified Level One Educators (So free tech help for all. Lol).

Additional biographical information

Our mission statement is to make quality products that will appeal to all students. The AppleCheeks Promise if you are not satisfied with a purchase I will do everything in my power to improve, replace, or create additional materials that you could use and will have you satisfied with your purchase.
