Summary
Students of all cultural diversities and learning styles have the right to an education that is suited for their individual needs. As a Social Studies Teacher with 10 years of experience, and soon to be Special Education Teacher, I educate these students to be both US and world citizens. This is done using evidence-based practices along with patience and empathy to instill a growth mindset and compassion for others within my students.
