ALL ABOUT ME
I am a Special Education teacher at Crisp RYDC in Cordele, Georgia, home of the Watermelon Capital of the World. I am entering into my second year of teaching. Before becoming a teacher I worked in law enforcement in various positions. Last year I taught all academic subjects,but this year I am only teaching Language Arts and Social Studies. I enjoy teaching Language Arts and Social Studies because you actually have to read the text. And reading is FUNDAMENTAL! In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends and reading novels. I am also attending Valdosta State University obtaining my second Master's in Special Education General Curriculum.
My class is not set up as a
traditional classroom. At any given time I may have
several students on different grade levels in
different subjects all in one classroom. I'm currently
teaching grades 6th through 12th in Language Arts and
Social Studies. My classroom is the D.E.A.R.
classroom. I have set aside times in my classroom that
we read together in class.Some of the students really
enjoy the activities. My regular students know when
they enter my classroom, we WILL be reading. I have
all sorts of interesting reading material on all
reading levels. My goal
is to teach students and to help the students who have
difficulty reading.
