Drawing upon 25 years of experience as an art teacher, I am committed to transitioning these robust skills into a special education role. With expertise in instructional design, student engagement, and adaptable teaching methods cultivated in art classrooms will be directly applied to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. This career shift is fueled by a desire to leverage a comprehensive pedagogical background to champion inclusive learning environments, craft effective individualized plans, and ultimately, foster significant academic and personal growth for all students.
