About Katie

I provide SPED and elementary general education services during the entire school day for middle school aged scholars with highly complex special needs in a self contained classroom setting. I teach math, science, reading and writing through lesson plans I create and develop for each individual child and their needs. I am fully responsible for implementation of their extensive Individual education plans (IEP), reinforce coping skills, employ de- escalation strategies if necessary. I meet throughout the day with the middle school teachers to align our priorities Including implementation of each IEP and meet weekly with my supervisor to provide progress reports and observations from the classroom for each child. I have become highly skilled in assessing and handling all aspects of special needs education and associated behavioral issues such that I am regularly assigned students with the most severe of these issues.
