Sabrina Pittman
Summary
I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and often use this skill to build communication in my classroom. I am a passionate and energetic teacher with experience developing and implementing diverse curriculums for students with a wide range of needs and abilities. I am highly skilled at motivating students through positive behavior interventions and supports. My encouragement and reinforcement of concepts includes using interactive classroom instruction, whole body learning, as well as engaging visual, auditory, and kinesthetic lessons. I have been very successful in helping students develop strong literacy, numeracy, social and functional skills. I am energetic and motivated with extensive knowledge in various academic subjects and experience working with a large array of students with disabilities.
