I am currently a first grade teacher in Brighton Central School District in Rochester, NY. I have been teaching for 12 years am certified in elementary education and special education and have a master's degree in literacy. I have taught pre-kindergarten, first grade as well as second grade. I have taught general education classes, inclusion classes as well as self contained special education classes.
I feel it is important for me to provide my students with structure and clear expectations while also allowing my students opportunities to be creative and take risks. A classroom should be place where students feel safe, cared about, learn new things and a place where they are excited to come each and every day!
