Teaching style

A creative style that gives way to embedding state standards with IEP goals. While my lesson plans target all areas of development, I like to give some extra emphasis to social-emotional and motor skills. For me, building a strong relationship with my students and allowing them to move as needed is very important as it leads to trust. When my students feel safe, they gain confidence and demonstrate growth in all areas.
