My Project

In this day of education, the idea that one size fits all all curriculum is proving to be an inadequate approach, especially in the realm of special education.

As an educator working with students with disabilities in a virtual environment, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of tailoring curriculum to best meet the needs of my students.

Utilizing the Teacher Pay Teacher platform empowers me to personalize instruction tailored precisely to each student's current level. This means meeting them at their personal starting point and offering a customized pathway for skill development.
