There is never a dull moment in my classroom with the bright, funny, creative individuals I have the pleasure of teaching. My students are middle schoolers with significant cognitive disabilities. All of my students have Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) that address their broad range of academic, communication, social and functional needs. My students come from a wide variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. One common thread is their enthusiasm to show up every day eager to take on new challenges. My students love to come to school and it is my joy to get to be their teacher.
