I am a Reading Interventionist in Caddo Parish. I work with teachers and students on a daily basis to provide assistance where necessary.
Position:
Literacy & Numeracy Teacher
Needs:
I am always in need of technology to assist me in supporting my teachers and students. I would love a digital video camera to video lessons & workshops. I also want to do podcasting in the classroom and for professional development for my teachers.
My Philosophy:
All students can learn no matter their age, ability, or disability. The difficulty is that they all learn differently. Therefore, we must strive to differentiate our instruction to meet the needs of all learners in our classrooms.
