I am studying Elementary Education at a University in Langley with minors in Art and Special/Inclusive Education. I have been in many schools for classroom placements from private schools, public and Intercity schools. I have worked with EA's and teachers for students who need extra assistance and helped follow IEP's that are in place for different students. I also led reading centers to help students who are behind grade level in reading to catch up. I also previous taught swim lessons for many years to kids ranging from 6 months all the way to 16 years old. I also worked with children on the spectrum and adjusted the curriculum to fit their needs and abilities.
