I focus on student centered and inquiry based learning. I use research supported methods for the student's identified disability and discrete measurement tools for data driven instruction. I use instruction to support the development of self-advocacy and executive functioning skills In each lesson, I will connect the content to real world experiences of the student and society. I make sure to expose students to a variety of cultures and schools of thought while keeping students entertained using story telling throughout my lessons. I use visual and auditory cues and direct instruction to keep students engaged while promoting academic confidence. I love teaching and am a lifelong learner myself and hope to instill that love in the students I teach. I'm passionate about being an advocate for individuals with disabilities. I teach students ages 3-22 in the areas of Math, Science, Language Arts, Reading, Critical thinking, self-advocacy and executive functioning.
