About The Teacher

Dear Parents,
	It is a pleasure to be part of the staff at Adobe Bluffs Elementary 
School. I would like to introduce myself and tell you a little about my 
experience as a teacher of students with special needs. I graduated from the 
San Diego State University with a credential in moderate/severe 
disabilities. . I am currently in the level II/Autism masters program. Part 
of my field work involved working with people with severe disabilities, 
problem behaviors, Autism and much more. My younger sister has intellectual 
disabilities and growing up with her has made me realize the importance of 
the special education field. I am extremely passionate and bring a fresh 
perspective to the classroom. I am very excited for this upcoming year and 
have a lot of fun and creative ideas.
 
	I value the unique strengths and learning styles of the students with 
whom I work. This belief is reflected in my careful planning and designing of 
curriculum with the needs and strengths of the student in mind. I utilize a 
variety of visual, auditory and kinesthetic strategies to engage students in 
their learning process. My instructional planning is based on formal and 
informal assessments of each student in order to meet their IEP goals. 
Appropriate classroom behavior is modeled and reinforced in order to create a 
safe and caring learning environment for all students.

	I look forward to working with you and your child this year. 
Together, we can provide a collaborative and positive learning experience for 
your child here at Adobe Bluffs!

	Please feel free to e-mail, call, or schedule a conference if 
you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns!
