Broad Background in Elementary Education, Special Needs, & Computers

I will be graduating this Spring with a Masters in Special Education. With respect to that knowledge area, I have special interests in working with students with autism or Aspergers, but also transitioning special needs youth.

In addition, I have taken many Elementary Education courses while finishing my graduate studies, thus I feel confident in teaching those related topics, too. Lastly, I also have a Bachelors in Computer Science and can teach many subjects related to that area.

In my personal life, I enjoy gaining first hand community social science, history, and art knowledge, by learning about my town's history and building architectures and also by participating as a community volunteer for many local projects and non profit programs.

Phonics

I'm graduating with a masters in Special Education and have completed all my Special Ed. coursework with a 3.87. I have taken phonics as a topic in both that curriculum and as part of my General Ed. coursework.

In those courses' field work, I created and taught phonics lessons and other reading lessons. I have also used several standardized and curriculum based measurements to baseline, assess and track student progress in reading (standardized measurements include DIBELS and Woodcock... Read More

ADD/ADHD

Having finished my coursework for a masters in Special Education, I have learned many strategies to help students overcome their issues with having ADHD or ADD. Many of these strategies are related to overcoming the student’s hyperactive (for those with ADHD) or inattentiveness (for those with ADD) or Executive Function problems (for those with either of these).

As a parent to a child with autism who has co-morbid ADD issues (and I, myself, who have ADD like issues), my first line defense... Read More

Aspergers

I'm graduating with a masters in Special Ed and have completed all my Special Education coursework with a 3.87 in those courses. I have personally incorporated the more global topic of Autism Spectrum Disorders (which is the umbrella diagnosis to both Asperger's and autism) into many my work products of that curriculum and that of my General Ed coursework, too. I do this because I'd like to work with individuals w/ ASDs once I graduate.

In my field work, which related to my courses,... Read More

Autism

I'm graduating with a masters in Special Ed soon and have already completed my Special Education coursework with a 3.87. I have incorporated the topic of Autism Spectrum Disorders (which is the umbrella diagnosis to both autism and Asperger's) into much of my coursework for that curriculum. In my field work, which related to my taken courses, there too, I seek out projects where I can work with students with ASDs. I do this because I'd like to work with individuals w/ ASDs once I graduate.Read More

I'm graduating with a masters in Special Ed and have completed my Special Education coursework with a 3.87 in those courses. I have taken dyslexia as a topic in both that curriculum and as part of my General Ed. coursework.

Specific to Dyslexia intervention, It is generally a umbrella term describing a multitude of issues with learning to read or with reading fluently (since there seems to be little agreement on exactly what Dyslexia is, currently). Phonological (or developmental)... Read More
