Birth to Three ECSE Teacher/Service Coordinator
06.2000 - 06.2020
Job overview
- Provided direct Special Instruction and Service Coordination services on a Birth to 3 team using the evidence based Primary Coach Approach to teaming as the foundation for home visit.
- With COVID-19 came a transition to visits via technology. This was a real struggle since not all families living in rural Wisconsin have or can afford reliable internet services or the tools to use it.
