I have been a special education teacher for 33 years and recently retired. I always felt like I had a special gift to work with a variety of students with differing abilities and needs. I tried to always see the positive in the students and build on their strengths. I had to lead a team of teacher aides and related service providers therefore I have excellent communication and organizational skills. I have had the pleasure of working/teaching some of the best students!
