Summary

Passionate, dedicated teacher with 4 years of working with students and teachers in elementary grade levels of K-5. As a special education teacher I work closely with the regular education teachers to make sure the children are meeting their IEP goals, and trying to help them be successful in a regular education classroom setting. I am skilled in assisting teachers with classroom functions, lesson planning and individual and group instruction. I pride myself on my interpersonal communication and my ability to multi-task. I am talented in using various strategies to model positive behavior and maintain classroom discipline.
