As a current special education teacher, these resources are constantly being used with students and updated to increase the outcome of the lesson and/or skill.
My Teaching Experience:
This is my 9th year of teaching special education. My first three years of teaching took place in a therapeutic day school setting. I have first-hand experience teaching functional skills and the importance of incorporating social emotional learning. After three years, I become a resource teacher and case manager at a public school in Illinois. Now, I teach K-2 students through pull-out interventions, push-in co-teaching models, and indirect supports.
I have had specific training in multi-sensory systematic reading and social learning.
I can't wait to share my successes with you, and I hope your students benefit from them like mine do each year.

Teaching style
My teaching style is a prefect blend of teacher facilitated lessons and student focused lessons. I believe that my students with IEP require a certain level of direct-instruction to make measurable gains. With that being said, my students have a lot of voice and choice when I create these worksheets and visuals for them.
