Special Education is one of my top subjects! I have a mild/moderate special education credential, multiple subject credential since 2000, Masters in special education, autism authorization, and have worked both as a Resource Specialist and an SDC teacher creating, monitoring and updating IEP programs and goals. I work on study skills, work habits, fine motor skills, organization, social skills and cuing as they pertain to academics and every day interactions, as well as interest/career direction testing. I have worked with curriculum such as Touch Math, Step Up to Writing, Explode the Code, Saxin phonics, Silver Burdett and Ginn, Abekka, hough Mifflin, Dolch, and Handwriting Without Tears. I have also raised three kids with ADD who have just finished their first year in college. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
As a special education teacher with both my special education and multiple subject credentials, I believe in multi-modality teaching as well as changing activities frequently to keep kids engaged. I also consider myself a "connection specialist." Connecting interpersonally with students and parents creates trust, self confidence, and a desire to learn. My communication, interpersonal skills, and customer service skills are strong, and I come with stellar evaluations from both administration and parents in the charter school system for the past three years. My children look forward to their time with Kimberly. I am able to keep track of their progress with the parent feedback forms that Kimberly gives every week. My son has now been exited from the Special Education program and his confidence has greatly improved after three years of Kimberly's consistent efforts." Lorraine -parent/educa ... read more
