Elementary (K-6th)

I have a clear multiple subject teaching credential which authorizes me to teach all subjects in a self-contained classroom from grades K through 6th. I have been teaching elementary special education for the last four years and have taught: reading/phonics, language arts, K-4th grade mathematics, social studies, science, and social skills.
Phonics

Phonics

As an elementary teacher in the state of California, I am required to take coursework in the teaching of phonics and also am required to pass a standardized test called the "RICA" which stands for "reading instruction competency assessment". I have passed this test and have taught phonics for a number of years. I am well versed in the process of learning phonics which include: concepts of print, phonemic awareness, and letter-sound correspondence, and encoding (spelling). I have taught several student to read using phonics.
Special Needs

I have been a special education teacher for the last 7 years, and have worked with students with mental retardation, learning disabilities, high functioning autism and Asperger's syndrome, emotional disturbance, and speech and language delays. I am familiar with behavior modification techniques, PECS, and teaching social skills for students with social difficulties. I also have a lot of experience in the IEP process.

Great educational goals and life skills

Wendi is great with my son, my son is a high functioning aspergers and major learning problems (short description) and the price is great too. Gives me a small amount of time to review with both of them and I get to leave, as I come back I can see there review of progress. My son has had counselors and teachers trying to help his whole life and I feel he has more growth in the last 3 visits then all that has been done in the several years. Very professional and available for my son too. I feel we can get alot put in to place working with Wendi in a long term. It very hard to deal with my son as he is a adult, and knows it all and don't like me involved in the past but with Wendi our interest gets address one on one, she treats him as a adult with some really good strengths to work with. I am extremely grateful for Wendi's help. my son ask for my help in this way so he was ready to do this, I asked him for his feedback and he's real happy with Wendi too. Update: Wendi is one of the biggest help on encouraging my son to take independent responsibility of his life, I really appreciate that about her.
