I have been teaching for 23 years in a variety of roles. These have included: a kindergarten teacher, transition kindergarten teacher, co-teacher with a special ed teacher, self-contained special ed teacher, resource room special education teacher, and a preschool intervention specialist. I’m always looking to work smarter and not harder and that is the focus of my products as well.
I love being creative, energetic and positive. The more I teach, the more I realize that every action with children aged 3-5 is a learning action and we as educators need to instruct them in all facets while being very conscious of their individual styles and needs. Modeling the correct action is imperative instead of always wanting the child to act the way you want them to act or learn the way you want them to learn..
