Credentialed Teacher wanting to help You!
I am a California credentialed Special Education Teacher currently working in a Resource Specialist Program (RSP) setting. I hold an Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor's Degree, a Master's Degree, a Clear Mild/Moderate Special Education Credential, and an RSP certification. I also hold eight additional certificates in areas including curriculum planning and infant/toddler development. I maintain active CPR certification and plan to continue my education by pursuing a Ph.D. in Education Policy.
What sets me apart is my 20 years of experience working with children in professional educational settings, including Montessori, Reggio Emilia, play-based learning, and developmental approaches influenced by Piaget and Erik Erikson. Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of child development, behavior, learning differences, and social-emotional growth.
In my current role, I teach students with diverse learning needs, develop and implement Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), collaborate with families, and support students both academically and behaviorally. I also have experience administering and assisting with educational assessments, including the Woodcock-Johnson and WJAT/WIAT assessments.
Families appreciate my patience, professionalism, strong behavior management skills, and ability to connect with children of all ages and abilities. My goal is always to create a safe, engaging, nurturing environment where children feel supported, confident, and successful.
I look forward to hearing from you!
