Step Ladder Learning

With over 20 years of classroom experience, I'm passionate about creating interactive, creative, hands-on materials that are easy to use — for both teachers and students. I specialize in Special Education and ESL resources for lower grades. I have been tutoring for more than 15 years in most subject areas for all ages.

Every educator has a unique style. I like to employ a blended teaching style where students' needs can be specifically addressed and adapted to. I approach blending styles to fit the needs of the students, the material, and the lesson objective. As a teacher, I might begin lessons with a demonstration of a model (explicit teaching), depending on a direct or indirect approach to the content. Autonomy and critical thinking are both skills I value.

Hello, and welcome to Step Ladder Learning! With over 20 years of classroom experience, I'm passionate about creating interactive, creative, hands-on materials that are easy to use — for both teachers and students. I specialize in Special Education resources for lower grade levels, focusing on calm, clear, and structured materials for learners who thrive on predictability. Every resource in my store is designed the way I teach: one small step at a time. I believe big skills are built from little victories, and my worksheets, flashcards, visual supports, and activity sets reflect that — low-prep for you, low-pressure for your students. Whether you're a classroom teacher, special education specialist, tutor, or homeschool parent, you'll find tools here that meet learners where they are and help them climb with confidence.
