In August 2018, I graduated from the University of Alaska Southeast with a M. A. T. in Special Education. The education and schooling I've completed, along with my lifetime passion for learning and children will ensure each of my students will receive the best education possible. A couple of the key traits I believe a teacher should have to increase success with students’ development are: understanding childhood development, able to adjust and adapt to different learning needs by switching teaching strategies, plus a source of communication with the parents.
