Class Description:
High School Special Education Classes: EmploymentEnglish Life Skills Science Job Skills Math Career Prep The students I teach are non-diploma students, however most have the capability for technical jobs such as welding, auto mechanics, HVAC, and manufacturing processes. Our challenge is expanding the way these students gather knowledge. Most will need visual, demonstrated, guided learning. The goal is equiping them to gain new knowledge that is self initiated from sources they learn to use in my classes.
Position:
Teacher, SPED
Needs:
Smart Board system for student interaction and demonstration to classmates. Computers equiped with multimedia creation software and hardware for student and teacher presentations. Digital cameras, video cameras, portable audio recorders, microphones, headsets, and consumables (CDs, DVDs, paper).
My Philosophy:
All children can learn. Finding the mode that helps the student learns best is key to igniting life-long learning and engaging the student in productive use of their free education opportunities. My skill as a teacher is challenged to improve the long-term life of my students each day that I have them. What I do or don't do has a lasting impact in each student's quality of and success in life.

Why Do I Teach?:
I really enjoy working with people and I have done that all my life. While I was in business, I had the opportunity to spend many hours each week in public service, from scouts to the chamber of commerce. My business supported my public service. Now my business is public service as a teacher of special education. I love the challenge of getting to "turn on the light bulb" in a special education child's mind.
