Class Description:
I teach at a specialized program for students with severe cognitive and/ or behavioral issues. The students need very close supervision and small student to teacher ratios

life skills teacher
Needs:
Every year my class changes. This year I have 4 students, 3 boys and a girl. These students would benefit greatly from technology based materials.

You can only do this job if you get excited about the little things. If you aren't there for the kids, then don't be there.

Employment History:

Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because I have a passion for making the littlest thing count. As a teacher of students with multiple disabilities and behavioral issues, you have to work on what is important to function day to day. It is my passion to teach these skills that make it easier on the families that deal with these kiddos each and every day.
