About the store
People always say, "It takes a very special person to teach special education." I disagree, I think it takes a special person to be a teacher. For the past 28 years I have taught special education to students with all types of disabilities both medical and academic in nature. Within this time frame, I have also done inservices on SIOP for best instructional and learning methods for ELL students. I also have taught at Grand Valley State University as an adjunct professor for the past 14 years; focusing on classroom management.

Teaching style
Its about what the student needs. When we keep solely to our personal comfort zone, we miss addressing the way some of our kid's learn. I have found you must be flexible, yet maintain consistency. Be fair and honest, when I make a mistake, I apologize to the student, the same I would like for them to do to me. Any teacher who is successful, must also acknowledge the fact that we have to make personal connections with the student's and their families to have greatest positive impact. I also guide, support and facilitate relationships for the students with others--this is critical so students are connected to a system of support rather than a single entity. Believe in them, let them know you do, and watch them grow.
