People often think if a child or an adult is cognitively or physically disabled, that they are not able to learn or excel! I believe that every child can learn and excel whether it be for the moment or a lifetime.

I strongly believe that establishing structured routines create a framework that helps students succeed. I create this environment by thinking ahead and putting positive behavior supports in place, which aides in avoiding negatives that come with a reactive approach to behavior management.

I am retired Air Force and thrive on attention to detail. I utilize lots of technology and hands on activities tailored to each child's needs. I will collect data, keep records and meet and work with the parents as well.

My Master's Degree is in Special Education as a Generalist, and I can teach ages 5-21.

I look forward to working with your child and you.

Elementary (K-6th)

In conjunction with my Masters degree from Grand Canyon University I also passed the Colorado state test for Elementary Education which covers K-8th grade. Knowing the various stages and what the student should know at each grade level was paramount in this training and test. While in the Special Education Classroom I had to demonstrate that knowledge through teaching students at all levels. While they may have not been at grade level, I had to teach them at the level they were at which varied... Read More

Phonics

As a child we moved from state to state and somewhere in the process I was never taught phonics. Therefore I struggled and often felt like the dumb one in class because my reading ability was slower than my classmates. It was at that time I realized the importance of learning phonics.
During my undergraduate courses I realized that the system of phonics provided a system to use to read instead of having to memorize all of the words which I had done for years.
One of my instructors... Read More

Study Skills

Study skills play a very important role in learning. I learned this during my years in the military as a military instructor. I found that when the members were in my classroom the most difficult thing for them was to know how to study. I went in to my undergraduate and graduate courses with a wealth of knowledge on study skills and was able to pull a 3.94 GPA in my graduate course based on my study skills. I have the tools and knowledge available to tutor students not only in specified areas... Read More

Special Needs

My Masters degree is in Special Education and covers all special needs. My state license allows me to teach students from ages 5-21. I have taught students with special needs from mobility needs, hearing impaired, speech difficulties, ADHD, Asperger’s, Autism, and others. I use differentiating lesson plans for each student according to their needs.

ADD/ADHD

I graduated from Grand Canyon University with my Masters in Special Education Cross-Categorical and ADD/ADHD was one of the subjects that hit hard.

I have taught for four years and during that time I found that supporting a student with ADHD can be extremely challenging, but with the patience and desire it is possible. I have been able to succeed because I know it is important to understand that the student is not displaying his/her inattentiveness or unacceptable behavior because... Read More

Aspergers

My dream is to eventually be a full time teacher for students who have been diagnosed with Aspergers or Autistm! One of my observations in the classrooms over the last few years is that some teachers want to teach all students the same. Teaching should not be treated like a cookie cutter process.

Students with Aspergers are each unique. One student of mine loves dinosaurs, so when we would work on reading or writing I would always incorporate dinosaurs. He would get so excited and... Read More

Autism

Teaching students with developmental delays, such as autistic spectrum, most often need direct instruction to learn how to stay on task and complete assignments independently. The tasks I use are to increase the student to work independently. Often times we are part of the issue with students who are autistic because we tend to enable them.

Some of the challenges I first met were with a high functioning autistic (HFA) boy. I had difficulty understanding what he was seeing or hearing... Read More

Dyslexia

In my training during graduate school there was a portion focused solely on dyslexic children. There are often areas that the students have difficulty in and I found it true to be while in the classroom.
When I first started teaching I had to overcome my thought process that dyslexia was only a reading problem. It is far more than that. It affects a student in spelling, writing, and math.
As a member of the Council for Exceptional Children, I have adopted many of the techniques and... Read More

Hard Of Hearing

Hearing loss can be categorized into four types all of which affect speech. During my graduate studies and my student teaching for my Special Education degree, I had several students that had one or more of the types of hearing loss. One of the areas that I was able to identify was that because of the hearing the student did not have the quality of interactions with others, which negatively affected her language acquisition. What I did to promote her vocabulary was to focus on her interest. I... Read More
