Summary

Throughout my 23 years of teaching, I was recognized as an invaluable asset to every one of the schools and cooperatives where I was employed. I had experience instructing classes and providing pull-out services. It has been my experience that addressing the needs of struggling and special-needs students through the implementation of a variety of resources, strategies, and assistance transforms them into individuals who excel in their language, communication, and social abilities.
