Using evidenced based interventions and data to track student progress and identify student need. I intend to provide lessons for students of all ages. Lesson usually revolved around completing reading, writing and math activities, and then administering short assessments towards the end of the lesson to double check progress.
I am a school psychologist with a Master's degree, and Education Specialist Degree. I have worked in schools internationally for 8 years. Teaching students of all ages, of all abilities and of all backgrounds. Students that I have worked with have seen significant gains in reading, writing, and math.
