This blog focuses on teaching from a Special Education Teacher's perspective. I plan to provide my observations and/or insights into Special Education, English Language Arts, the help students receive in my Resource Room, pedagogical ideas and integrating technology/Web2.0 tools into the classroom.
My views have been molded by my experiences as a parent of a Special Education Student, a retired Coastie, teaching in a Special Purpose Private School and a Public School system.
