Experience
Special Education Teacher II, 06/2014 - Current
Melmark New England Charlotte, NC,

"Teaching students with various special needs using interest inventories, observational assessments, and questionnaires to develop individualized Transition Plans. A collaborative team approach helps students develop the skills needed to maximize their independence. Community-based instruction occurs at all levels to promote the generalization of academic, social, behavioral, vocational skills. At Cenpatico’s Main Campus, routine outings may include structured and relevant weekly activities in the community and/or job site training for older students through partnerships with local businesses. These outings afford students the opportunity to learn valuable safety skills, the ability to navigate public transportation, and a natural environment for them to reinforce their social, emotional, and communication skills. On-campus vocational opportunities may include participation in the student-run lunch service, the Coffee Cove, and the Gardening Club. On-site or in the community, students are afforded the opportunity to foster their levels of independence, self-esteem, and self-advocacy."
