Dear Reader,
Welcome to my newly launched blog! I invite you to visit and follow along my journey as a Special Education Resource Teacher in a Primary/Junior Autism Community Classroom. I look forward to sharing my journey, including (but not limited to): the physical classroom structure, work systems, individualized programming, my role as advocate for inclusive education and MORE!
A little about me:
I very quickly learned that my passion and purpose in education lies in the Special Education realm. Structure, visuals, work systems, preferred reinforcers - these are a few of my favourite things! I also take pride in being an advocate for children and youth living with exceptionalities. My passion for inclusive education (and communities) is something that requires all of our attention. I look forward to sharing what this looks like within my new school community come the Fall and beyond the school context.
A look back:
I'd like to share a few snapshots into my former Primary Autism Community Classroom. Although it is no longer where I will be teaching, it was the place which ignited my passion for Special Education. You will see glimpses into my structured teaching environment - including my teacher table, bin work systems and visual schedules. No two classrooms, or two sets of students are alike! I anticipate some changes for the Fall with all of the things I have learned since setting up this classroom in mind... but change is good!
Whats next:
I look forward to sharing my classroom transformation come the Fall and all of the aspects which make me exceptionally devoted to the Special Education world.
Lets connect (and/or collaborate?!) via Twitter @meagansousa or leave me a comment below.
I especially cannot wait to share more!
M.
