In special education we nurture the unique talents and needs of every child, regardless of their learning differences. My special education classroom provides a safe environment where my students feel accepted, seen and supported. I often become a source of comfort and guidance for my students as I build strong relationships with them and their families.
The special education journey can get difficult and we have to work hard, but nothing is more rewarding than seeing a child grow, not just academically but as a whole child. Over the years my students have taught me about trust, patience and understanding. They teach me, just as I teach them.
"Every student can learn, just not on the same day, or in the same way."
