I am the worker that adapts myself to each person, and a leader
that works collaboratively with each and every employee. No two
people are alike, so why should I address them in the exact
same why and expect the same results? I can’t. This is why I
obtained my Special Education credential in the first place. I
believe that every person has the ability to learn, but as a teacher
and professional, I should be a lead learner, and learn how each
person learns most efficiently. I am a huge proponent of John
Dewey’s Philosophy of Education. Like him, I believe that people
learn best through organic experiences. I do everything in my
power in assisting those experiences to manifest in any way I am
able. My former coworkers often joke that if you don’t find me
giving a lesson in my classroom, try the play structure on the
field. It’s hilarious that they recognize I am a little unconventional
at times in my methods, however I do not think that people can
always learn within four walls. Leaders need to lead and must
think outside of the box. My most impactful lecture was actually
delivered on a play structure, as I taught my students about
being selfless and gave them a project to design and develop
their own non-profit organization. I like looking at life in a unique
and different way in order to make learning exciting to each
person. I am willing to try techniques in my workplace to see
what benefits people most. I am not afraid to fail in my job, as
failing is part of learning and subsequently a part of life.
However, it is how I overcome failing that makes me an exquisite
candidate for any position. My students and instructional
assistant all teach me on a daily basis and enable me to be a
more impactful leader.

With my k-12 certification I have had to master common core in my profession.

I am certified k-12 cross categorical special education teacher

Go ahead and give me a try! I would love to help!
