I'm a special education teacher working as a co-teacher/collaborator in the general education setting. I collaborate in science, social studies, math, and ELA. I'm currently working with the 6th grade and follow the students on my caseload to their core classes. My students have a wide range of needs and disabilities fall under multiple categories including Autism, Other Health Impairment, Intellectual Disabilities, and Specific Learning Disabilities.
I also coach the academic team and this gives me an opportunity to work with gifted students and provide enrichment opportunities for them. The academic team focuses on 5 content areas: arts & humanities, language arts, math, science, and social studies. Students compete in these content areas in individual tests and quick recall (think quiz bowl). Competitions are held at the district, region, and state level.
