I became a teacher because I love working with children. When my youngest daughter was born she had disabilities and I had to teach her different ways to learn. I wanted to teach other students differentiation so they could learn too.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceOne of the most memorable teaching experiences was when a student that came to me as a fourth was not able to read or say her letters or sounds. We worked together and by fifth grade she was reading. She just recently graduated from high school and is no longer on an IEP.
