I have taught professionally for my entire teaching career up to this point in a self-contained Autism Spectrum Disorder setting. I have professionally taught students PreK-2 up to this point. I have experience in both general education and various ESE settings, but have found my home in ASD.
When I am lesson planning, my goal is always to balance what I know my students truly need based on their IEP goals, as well as following the calendar required by the state standards. My instruction is standards-based, but tailored to meet my students' needs.
