As a teacher, I have taught in high school and middle school settings. The bulk of my career has been in a self-contained special education classroom especially for students with severe disabilities. Before I was sure I wanted to be a teacher, I spent a year as a paraprofessional in a preschool classroom for kids with autism.
I believe in teaching functional academics. Not only do I want my students to learn basic skills, I want them to be able to take those skills and apply them in their lives as they go forward.
