I am a 37 year old wife and mother of two. I am a middle school special education teacher for the last 15 years. I started out as a self- contained classroom teacher. I taught what was known as “multiply handicapped students” for 6 years. For the past 9 years, I have been an inclusion teacher for math and science for 7th and 8th grades. I provide in class support to students with special needs in a general education class setting.
