My Philosophy:
My philosophy has always been that every child can achieve and be successful. Each child learns at their own rate and there are multiple intelligences. As an educator I must use every resource to see what works with each child. In this system of one size meets all, my students are falling behind in the classroom. Somewhere in their educational process it is detrimental that we ensure that each child can reach their highest potential.

About Me:
My original degree was in psychology and I worked in varying group homes and secondly in an Rehabilitation Unit helping disabled adults adjust back to work after debilitating injury, illness or mental faculties. I fell in love with teaching when I began to substitute teach.One class in particular got my attention immediately. It was a special education class that they had difficult finding an instructor. I was assigned to that room for several months and just fell in love with teaching. It was at that time that I went back to school and received my teaching degree. I have been teaching Special Education since 2000.
