I have over 23 years of teaching experience in science. I have taught various levels of students-middle, high and college. Over the span of my teaching career I have been taking various level courses on how to reach students with different learning disabilities. For 2022, my focus was on dyslexia and dyscalculia. My school system professional development programs have been on the Orton Gillingham approach and creating videos that are specialized to help students with specific needs.
