Experience
I am currently a special education teacher and teach in a resource room. I have taught all elementary grades in special education and general education settings. I have taught in self contained classrooms and have served special education students through an inclusion model in addition to an intervention block model.
Teaching style
I operate my resource room in a very unique way due to the fact my students in my groups have a wide range of present levels. My students rotate through stations that have been developed and planned based on their IEP goals, special education evaluation data, formative assessment data, in addition to taking into consideration what grade level standards they are working on in the general education classroom. I have stations that focus on phonics skills, comprehension skills, problem solving skills, fluency skills, and anchor standards. My kids have a lot of choice in their classwork and have a menu of choices to choose from when practicing a skill such as creating a brochure, a dodecahedron, or another choice given. I would say my teaching style is very student centered, data driven, but also taking into consideration special education instructional best practices.
