Hello Everyone,

I am currently a Special Education teacher at the Y.A.L.E. School. Majority of the students that attend Y.A.L.E are behavioral, but there are also a few on the spectrum. I was previously a substitute teacher at Atlantic City and Greater Egg Harbor School Districts as well as coached swimming at Greater Egg Harbor. This is my second year (4th class) in Stockton's Special Education program. I am working on attaining my masters in Special Education. I enjoy reading, kayaking, and coaching swimming in my spare time. This picture is taken at my summer job on the Atlantic City beach.

I enjoy reading historical non-fiction, coaching and going to the beach in my spare time. I look forward to learning with and from each of you and your varied experiences.

Hello everyone! I began my 13th year as a teacher today! I have mainly been a general education teacher and/or Basic Skills (Title One) Instructor. My family and I relocated recently and I am now taking my third class to complete my SPED certification. I will be a 4th grade POR teacher this year. (The picture below was taken today!)
My husband and I met in college at TCNJ 13 years ago and wenow work in the same district. I am in the elementary setting and he is a high school teacher. We live by the beach and enjoy family time, taking our lab hiking, and paddling out in the bay. I am very excited to continue to grow and develop as an educator as I learn through all of your experiences!

Hello folks!
I had been teaching HS English for 8 years before I spent three years as a school counselor. I took a decade off to raise my kids and am just returning to the workforce now. Additionally I have my Director, Supervisor, and Principal certificates. I love education and can't get enough of the courses. I am now in my second (of seven) classes to complete my ToSD certificate.
With that all said, this is only my second course in an online format. So the logistics of that is more challenging to me than the content.

I look forward to working in this collaborative environment.

Hi everyone! My name is Shayna, I am in the Masters of Special Ed. program. I teach a self contained Autism k-2 classroom in Galloway Township.  In my classroom, we work with ABA therapy and many strategies and programs that best support students on the spectrum.  In the past, I've taught preschool and 4-6th intervention.

Hi everyone!  My name is Heather Harman and I just recently graduated from Stockton University with a degree in Psychology and a concentration in elementary education this past May.  Immediately after finishing my undergraduate career, I began my graduate program.  The graduate program I am participating in is, a Masters of Education with a concentration in Special Education.  This Fall, I am taking this particular course and one other.  I have taken two other graduate courses this past summer.  This upcoming October I will be covering a maternity leave in a second grade classroom that will run all the way to the end of the year.  I am very eager to get in the classroom and share my love of teaching with my future students.  Outside from school and the classroom, I am a dance teacher.  I have been a dance teacher for eight years now and love every second of it.  I teach students between the ages of 3 and 18.  Besides working, I love to go to the beach, spend time with family and friends, and play with my dog, Ryder.  I look forward to working with you all throughout the semester.

Hello there!
My name is Francesca and I am beginning my first year of graduate school this fall.

I have yet to obtain a job in teaching yet; however, I currently work at Hard Rock Casino in Atlantic City and plan on substitute teaching at Atlantic Community Charter School and Greater Egg Harbor Regional School District this year. I hope to soon find new job openings in the field so I can begin my journey as a teacher, which is and has always been my passion.

I cannot wait to start this semester and work together with you guys!

I received my masters in Administration from St. Joe's in 2016 and began taking courses towards my LDTC at Stockton this past spring.

Hello, my name is Jackie and I am the general education teacher in a 3rd grade inclusion classroom at Winslow Township Elementary School #3. I was an alternate route student and have been teaching for three years, this will be my fourth. My undergraduate degree is in psychology with a minor in behavioral neuroscience and I am currently working towards my masters in special education along with my supervisors certification and LDTC cert. I suppose that because of my degree in psychology it would explain my interest in the social, emotional, and behavioral components that play roles in how a child learns and performs academically. My ultimate goal is to, after receiving my masters in special education, to continue for my masters in ABA.
