I am a special education teacher with a background in graphic design. I am currently a special education teacher providing push-in math support in inclusion classes as well as teaching self-contained math and science. I also have experience teaching 4th through 12th grade in a variety of subjects, including life skills and vocational education. I also work closely with related service providers, such as SLPs and social workers. My store focuses on tools to help struggling learners and students with IEPs access the general education curriculum. Thanks for stopping by!
My philosophy is that all students can learn! It is up to us as educators to make sure everyone can access the content and learn in their own way. I am also a big proponent of student self-advocacy. Students need to be able to think critically and solve their own problems, and that needs to start in middle school.
