About the store
I am currently an exceptional educator for a life skills classroom at a predominantly ELL/low-income public charter middle school (grades 5-8) in southeast Nashville. I grew up as the daughter of a special educator, spending lots of time with my mother's students in her classroom and have always had a deep love for these kiddos.

Create a student-maintained data folder with copies of these easy graphing tools, editing to meet your data needs, that students can easily keep to track their own progress monitoring.

Personal Information Task Cards
I believe all students who can write or type should be able to record their personal information, including their full name, phone number, emergency contact information, birthday, address, etc. Forms that they may have to fill out in the future may have many different formats (boxes vs. lines) and prompts (birthdate vs. DOB). It is therefore important that we give students exposure to these type of questions and how to appropriately fill out such forms, down to adjusting the size of their writ

ABC Data Form and Analysis Sheets
Many of us have used ABC (antecedent, behavior, and consequence) data sheets to collect data on students' problem behaviors in order to get more information about the function(s) of those behaviors in order to inform our interventions. However, there are rarely methods of analyzing this data as there are with more quantitative data collection methods... until now!

Daily Schedule PowerPoint
We use this powerpoint daily and leave it up on the smartboard throughout the day (mainly for me!), to keep track of when to transition and so students have something to reference for expectations. It's been super helpful to keep me on schedule and let students know how much time remains for each task and saves me the trouble of having to get up and reset a timed timer each block. This is helpful in a self-contained setting to define the periods of your day, but also could effectively be used to

Picture Vocabulary Library: Food

Letter Formation Posters
These posters are great for students who struggle with differentiating their letter sizes, or adjusting their writing to fit appropriately within the context of handwriting lines. It has 3 pages for tall, short, and low letters (as we call them in my room), and lists all the letters for each. I also included the visuals on here because we use the kinesthetic piece in our room for students to model their bodies as the letters should look on their papers.

WH Question Task Cards
My students have a difficult time answering WH questions (who, what, when, where, why, how), in particular, figuring out what type of answer I am expecting. These cards are fantastic because it gives them a formatted question, that they can use to help them restate the question in the answer, a visual cue, and a matching card that does not give away the answer because it's a single word!
These cards can be used as an independent matching task, as prompt cards during a speech activity, or in co

Task Analysis: 3-Digit Addition/Subtraction
This task analysis can be used to help walk students through the steps of solving a triple-digit problem, from determining the operation, to self-talk that should be used throughout, up through the final answer. My students struggle to differentiate these processes for addition vs. subtraction and always forget to ask themselves if the bigger number is on top in each place value in order to decide whether or not to carry during subtraction.

Experience
I am currently an exceptional educator for a life skills classroom at a predominantly ELL/low-income public charter middle school (grades 5-8) in southeast Nashville. I grew up as the daughter of a special educator, spending lots of time with my mother's students in her classroom and have always had a deep love for these kiddos.
Teaching style
I am a big proponent for developing functional skills in students that they can apply in classrooms outside of mine, in their homes, and within the communities they will work and live in. I believe it is very important for students to have independent work skills, communication that can be understood by unfamiliar conversation partners, and self-care skills that can give them the best possibility quality of life. My classroom runs on many stations/centers made up of work boxes, task cards, and file folders to promote everyone working at their own pace and level.
My own education history
B.A. in Special Education and Psychology from Goucher College (MD), M.Ed. in Severe Disabilities, and BCBA certification from Peabody College, Vanderbilt University (TN).
