Hello! My name is Hannah Heasley and welcome to my Electronic Portfolio! I graduated LaRoche University with a degree in Pre-K through 4th grade Education and Kindergarten through 12th grade Special Education. I have found a deep love for education that continues to grow each and every day. During my time at Laroche University, I not only took the time to learn and grow into a well rounded teacher, but I was also the captain of the cheerleading team and a member of the dance team. This taught me leadership skills as well as collaboration with others. I feel that these skills will impact me in my future classroom, with my students, as well as my colleagues.

I completed my special education student teaching placement in the Shaler Area School District at Scott Primary in the Kindergarten through 3rd grade learning support classroom. My general education student teaching placement was in the Northgate School District at Avalon Elementary in a 3rd grade classroom. Through these experiences, I was able to learn so much about what it really takes to be a teacher.

I invite you to explore my portfolio so that you can see who I truly aspire to be as teacher. Children develop new skills everyday and need to be encouraged to do so. I feel that with positivity and encouragement every child can reach their fullest potential. I greatly enjoy working with children and hope to fuel their eager minds for the future in a positive way.
