About the store
I started out as a parent volunteer who quickly was hired as a paraprofessional. While working in special education for 4 years as a para, I went back to school and became certified to teach general education K-8 and special education P-12. I've worked in my self contained special education classroom for students with Autism for 10 years. I am experienced in modifying general eduction curriculum to fit my students needs, teaching social skills, behavior mapping, and developing a growth mindset in students. I am also a de-escalation expert.

IEP Data Tracking Poster
Hang this poster in your classroom so you and your staff know when to have IEP data ready! I laminated mine and use a wet erase marker to list important IEP dates each year. My support staff is able to refer to the chart so they know when I need the data from their groups in order to prep for IEP's. This is a great organizational tool.

Teaching style
Kids are my business! I strive to meet each student where they are while recognizing maximum growth opportunities. Relationship building and holding students accountable for their learning are key for me as a special education teacher. I love technology in my classroom and use it to not only engage my students, but to encourage them to take learning further, outside the classroom. I am hands on and will manipulate a lesson with my special education students until I find a way to make it click. I am innovative, creative, and flexible.
