With six years of experience working with students with diverse abilities, I am confident in my ability to provide high-quality education and support to your students. As a dedicated and passionate special education teacher, I have a proven track record of: 1) Developing and implementing individualized education plans (IEPs) that cater to each student's unique needs. 2) Adapting curriculum and materials to make learning accessible and engaging for all students. 3) Creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment that fosters social, emotional, and academic growth. 4) Collaborating with general education teachers, therapists and staff to ensure comprehensive support. As an educator, I believe that every student deserves a supportive and inclusive learning environment that allows them to thrive.
