Meaningful and Motivating - Making it Fun!Whether training adults or teaching children with autism and other disabilities, I have a talent for making the material and experiences fun (motivating and meaningful). Instead of making students do what we want them to do - I believe in making students WANT to do what we want them to do. As a teacher of children and trainer of staff, it's my job to make the leaning fun and interesting - so the students, adults and children, want to learn what I am teaching. I am also a believer in data collection and results-driven teaching. This may appear as performance reviews and goals for staff supervision; efficiency data for scheduling; tallies for meeting IEP objectives and Pre- and Post surveys for Fun with Food Camp families.I am innovative and efficient at finding solutions to challenges -whether child-size or agency wide.I am passionate about creating curriculum and materials that are relevant and interesting to the students. I am an eager solver of puzzles when it comes to helping children and staff learn and assisting agencies overall sustainability.
