Mikelle Mitchell

I have extensive teaching experience working with students with autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, other health impairments, emotional disabilities, social emotional learning deficits, and specific learning disabilities. I have developed individualized strategies to meet their unique needs, created inclusive learning environments, and implemented effective behavior management techniques. I am passionate about fostering their growth, independence, and academic success. I am passionate about teaching other educators about educational neuroscience, restorative practices, trauma-informed teaching, and social-emotional learning. I believe that understanding the brain and how it learns can transform teaching practices. I advocate for restorative approaches that build strong relationships and promote a positive school culture. I also emphasize the importance of trauma-informed teaching and equipping educators with strategies to support students' social-emotional well-being.

I attended Murray State University for my Bachelor's degree. My Bachelors is in Mild to Moderate Learning and Behavior Disorders (k-12) and General Education (k-5). I am currently wrapping up my Masters at The University of Alabama and will graduate this spring with my MA in in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in Learning and Assessment.

Hi there! My name is Mikelle Mitchell, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the Teacher Pay Teachers community. As a dedicated mom of two young children, I understand the importance of quality education and the impact it has on shaping young minds. For the past 7 years, I have been teaching special education students at the middle school level. It has been an incredibly fulfilling journey, and I am passionate about creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students. Currently, I am in the final stages of completing my Masters in Educational Psychology with a focus on Learning and Assessment at the University of Alabama. This program has provided me with valuable insights into the best practices for helping students thrive academically and emotionally. In my role at my school, I primarily focus on assisting students with their social-emotional needs. I strongly believe in the power of emotion regulation and executive functioning skills in helping students succeed. That's why I am actively involved in our school's SEL MTSS team, working towards enhancing the social-emotional well-being of all students. Having developed a wide range of resources over the years, particularly in the areas of SEL, behavior, and data tracking, I decided to create a TPT account. My goal is to share these valuable resources with fellow educators and support them in their teaching journey. I firmly believe in the "work smarter, not harder" mindset, and as part of the TPT community, I hope to collaborate with other teachers, learn from their experiences, and collectively make a positive impact on education. Together, we are a team dedicated to empowering students and creating a brighter future.
