Introduction

 "A love for learning begins in an inviting environment."

I have always been a teacher in one capacity or another. However, it is only in recent years that I became a certified teacher. I am a mom, a former bank and government manager, a college and graduate-level tutor, and a K-12 special educator. Currently, I teach science and life skills to 9-12th graders in a Community Referenced Instructional program. I do enjoy my kids, and I am looking forward to sharing this technology with them in the future months. Special Education is always so short for resources, no matter where one lives. STEP promises to be a great opportunity.

With the STEP training and technology, I hope to accomplish the following:


 * To gain more knowledge of technology and its uses in the classroom
 * To build friendships among new colleagues in order to learn and share with each other
 * To bring technology into the classroom in a creative and exciting way
 * To gain Professional Development credits in an area that is new to me
