Experience

I am going into my 11th year of teaching. I have taught grades 3-5 resource/inclusion, grades 3-5 self-contained behavioral program in a public school and outplacement, and now I am currently teaching in a grade 3-5 self-contained Autism program in a public school.

Teaching style

I believe in teaching the whole child. I believe social/emotional learning is just as important as learning to read and write. I believe there is a positive in every situation and that challenges are just opportunities to learn and grow.
