My mission as an educator has always been to increase engagement and learner success by integrating culturally relevant content, fun, technology, and gamification into instruction. I believe that almost any lesson can incorporate one, if not all, of these elements to enhance student learning and motivation.

I taught ICT and SETSS from September 2019-June 2023. On average, my students grew 25% per math unit. Additionally, the Special Education Students I worked with typically grew up to 2-3 reading levels per year. The New York State Practice tests given throughout the year have reflected an average growth of 20% in

reading and 17% in math.

This student began the school year in September writing 2 sentences per essay. He would separate them to make them look like 2 separate paragraphs. Through lessons of 2-5 students that focused primarily on elaboration within writing, the student was able to accomplish writing this essay within 45 minutes in April.
