Hi everyone! I am a junior Elementary Education major and Special Education minor at Valparaiso University.  I absolutely love teaching and I am so excited to be able to do so after I graduate.  Here is a link to my glog if you would like to know more about me!

I want to do more than teach children math and science.  I want to inspire my students to follow their dreams and to never give up on what they believe in. All students have the ability to succeed, and I will do everything I can to differentiate my learning so that all of my students have the opportunity to learn.

Assistive Technologies:

Kidspiration is a program that will help students learn numbers, words, and concepts by presenting them in visual and interactive formats.  Great tool to support learning!

Natural Reader is a free text-to-speech application that will read anything that is being viewed on the monitor! This is a great tool not only for students who are visually impaired, but also for all other students.  Hearing a piece of writing being read out loud will help students make sure that their writing makes sense.
