About The Teacher

Hello, my name is Andrea Anderson. I teach the Extended Resource Class. The 
class  serves grades 9-12 and offers social skill development, Life Skills  
and character enhancement while also assisting students in academics based 
on individualized needs. Joining me in our classroom is our outstanding 
teacher assistant, Wanda Cooper who assists in providing education as part 
of a team to meet student needs. 

I graduated from University of Cincinnati with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 
Communications.  I lived in Texas for 10 years where I received my 
certification in Special Education.  I have taught students with varying 
disabilities for 11 years and have had targeted training with students with 
autism.  I am a member of the National Autism Society and I have attended 
several state wide autism conferences for the past 5 years.  I am certified 
to teach using the division TEACCH method  (Treatment and Education of 
Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children) and I have received 
the “highly qualified” designation in both Texas and Tennessee.  I am happy 
to be at Harriman High teaching such GREAT  students and look 
forward to teaching the students in my classroom everyday.
