I am one of three teachers in a self-contained, therapeutic, program for students with social, emotional, and behavioral issues. We have thirty students in the program and work hard to offer them a high quality and meaningful education. Our students have not been historically successful in traditional classroom settings and require unique and individualized educational strategies to reach their full potential. All of my students are incredibly special and talented and it is my goal to tap into the strengths of each individual in order to assist them in reaching their full potential and finding long-term success in society.
