I specialize in instructional and social emotional interventions and strategies to enhance educational outcomes for students with diverse learning and behavioral needs. With a focus in Special Education Law and Disability Case Management, I work IEP teams to facilitate individualized, tailored support that aligns with individual student goals in order to make progress in their developmental, social emotional, and educational lives. My commitment is to provide equitable access and opportunity for all students, and to foster collaborative relationships with stakeholders to ensure that every student's needs are met. Additionally, students contribute to their own personal learning and growth through setting personal goals. I strive to create an environment where students have the opportunity to take ownership over their own learning by providing inquiry based learning using relevant topics and current events. I teach students how to advocate for themselves, age-appropriately, whether it is law per the IEP or asking for help. Additionally, I establish relationships and build partnerships with community organizations in order to provide opportunity and support students and families needs throughout the district.
