Highlights:One of the most rewarding moments in my teaching career was successfully developing and implementing a differentiated learning program for a group of students with diverse learning needs. By integrating assistive technology, hands-on learning strategies, and individualized education plans (IEPs), I was able to significantly improve student engagement and academic performance. One student who had previously been non-verbal began actively participating in class using a communication device, which was a milestone celebrated by the entire school team. This experience reinforced my passion for personalized learning and the profound impact of inclusive teaching practices.

Skills:Passionate, Hardworking, Computer literate

Goal:As a special education teacher, my goal is to create a supportive, inclusive, and adaptive learning environment where all students—regardless of ability—can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I aim to use individualized instructional strategies, evidence-based practices, and collaborative partnerships with families and professionals to help each student reach their fullest potential. Long-term, I aspire to contribute to the development of inclusive education policies and mentor future special education teachers to ensure that all learners are given equal opportunities to succeed.
