About the store
I have worked in a variety of grade levels and educational settings. I began my career in education as a Sign Language Interpreter and then became a certified Special Education teacher. I have 12 years of experience in the classroom. During those years I worked with students with special needs in inclusion and resource settings. My primary focus was students with learning disabilities and behavior disorders. Although I have worked in many grade levels, the bulk of my experience has been with middle school students. In 2015, I took a position as a Behavior Intervention Specialist.

Community People Search
This is a fun, interactive way for students to get to know each other. Each student walks around with the form and a pencil and asks others to sign their paper in the box that states something true about them. Each student may sign only once, and they must find someone else. It is quick, loud, and full of energy.
