I am a passionate and dedicated Special Education teacher with a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field. With over 15 years of experience under my belt, I have honed my skills in teaching the highly effective Orton-Gillingham reading approach and advocating for students with Dyslexia and other Special Education needs.

My goal as an educator is to foster a supportive and enjoyable classroom environment where every student feels empowered and confident to engage actively in their own educational journey. I firmly believe that education should be a personalized experience that caters to the unique strengths and challenges of each individual student.

To achieve this, I employ a range of cognitive teaching methods that are specifically designed to meet the diverse needs of my students. I firmly believe in providing structured, explicit, multi-sensory, and systematic instruction that targets the specific areas of difficulty for each student. By employing these evidence-based strategies, I ensure that my students receive the support they need to develop essential reading and language skills.
In my classroom, I create a warm and inclusive atmosphere that encourages collaboration, respect, and understanding. I strive to build strong relationships with my students, their families, and other professionals involved in their education, fostering a team approach that maximizes student success.

I am passionate about advocating for students with Dyslexia and other Special Education needs, both within and beyond the classroom. I actively engage in professional development opportunities to stay up-to-date with the latest research and best practices in the field. This enables me to provide the most effective and innovative instruction to my students, empowering them to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

"Teaching is not about telling and learning it is not about being told.  Just telling someone something isn't learning. Students have to do it, apply it, internalize it. It's about giving them exposure and practice."  Jan Wasewicz
