ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I've been fortunate to be able to apply my background in writing hands-on books for children to creating multi-sensory, differentiated lessons in my role as a special education teacher. I begin with the common core standard as the goal at the top of the ladder, and differentiate the standard for each individual to move upwards towards the goal.
