15 years teaching experience in Special Education

I use a lot of humor when working with students! I teach children to believe in themselves. I build on what they already know to build their confidence and use a lot of positive praise.
I have 15 years teaching experience in the field of Special Education. I have worked with students with a wide range variety of disabilities including learning disabilities, behavior disorders, and multiple disabilities. I have current teaching certificates in the state of South Dakota and Iowa for elementary education and special education. 6 of the 15 years have been at the high school level in special education.

I truly love teaching and working with people. After initial evaluations, I become aware of each student's learning style and create a specialized program best suiting their needs working closely with and have good on-going communication with parents, students, and classroom teachers. I have a lot of patience, a great deal of praise and encouragement,and use reinforcements. I make learning fun, creative, and relevant by using hands-on instruction. I am enthusiastic, strongly commited to student success, and believe every person can succeed. I have a passion for helping others reach their full potential; I am able to turn frustration and failure into confidence and success.

I have more than 5 years experience as a substitute teacher at almost every level. I have had the opportunity to also serve as a long term substitute teacher.

I have also taken course work in Differentiated Instruction. All of these experiences have given me the skills needed to be a successful teacher. Teaching at several levels allows me to adapt my teaching to the learning level of the student. I will work diligently to find the out the learning style of each student and try to adapt my teaching style to meet the student’s individual needs.
I believe every student has their own learning style. As a teacher, I believe it is my responsibility to find the style that works best for the student to help ensure the stu ... read more
