Summary
My experience will reveal that I have dedicated my educational career to improving student achievement and teacher effectiveness. I accomplished this twofold- as a special education teacher and reading specialist, I had extensive training and success in working with students who had reading/learning difficulties and as a literacy coach I fostered effective educational strategies to general education and special education teachers through modeling, educational discussion and teacher training.
