I have been a Special Education Teacher for 27 years. The first 10 years, I taught in a Special Education Preschool. I have been teaching Kindergarten in a ASD Nest Program ever since.
I teach the way students learn, whatever it takes! I think incorporating fun and including students' interests, teaching with kindness and compassion, and helping my students understand expectations, sets the foundation for a year of academic and social success!
