Current Teaching Assignment

K/1 SDC teacher at Weller Elementary in Milpitas

About Me

My name is Dawn Slanker. I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor's in English with secondary education and a Bachelor's in Psychology. After working as a stay at home mom for 15 years, I decided to slowly reenter the education field as a paraprofessional and then a long term substitute. During this time, I fell in love with special education and decided to pursue my California teaching credential as well as a Master's in Special education. Before this assignment, I spent 4 years teaching 6th - 8th grade middle school students as a Resource Specialist and Special Day Class teacher. Though I love middle school, I was excited for the opportunity to teach Kindergarten. My greatest hope is to be a loving and effective teacher who promotes self esteem and self efficacy among my students.
