My Project

My students are amazing! Through teaching them about different learning styles, they are able to better identify what they need in a learning environment to help them be successful! My students have great self-awareness and advocate for themselves. As you can imagine, a busy classroom can sometimes be noisy and bright and all of my learners have sensory preferences.

It is my goal to supply my students with the tools they need to be the best they can be!

I would love your support in empowering my learners to show their greatness everyday!
