I am a dedicated special education teacher focused on building upon students' strengths and improving their weaknesses in all academic and social-emotional areas. I provide firm expectations, structure, and routines to foster academic and social growth. The lesson I develop are based on students' IEP goals and academic needs. Through the use of a team approach, I collaborate with general education teachers in order to differentiate instruction in the general education setting to ensure students with special needs have equal access to educational curriculum.
