Summary

I am proficient with student data collection and utilizing that data to create individualized lessons for students. I am proficient in observations and being able to collaborate with other staff members in order to provide the most appropriate environment for my students. Regular communication with staff and parents is one of my biggest strengths. I am a strong advocate for students, especially in the area of mental health.
