I believe that my harmony and my positivity strength go hand in hand. As the special education department chair, I am the LEA designee at all IEP and eligibility meetings at my school.

this fact. Years upon years of training, late nights of studying, thousands of dollars of loans, all for nothing. Is this my future? This isn’t a waste of my time, is it? I find these statistics to be haunting, as I plan to enter the field of special education. I think about how this statistic will affect my future.

That goal can seem overwhelming, especially considering the number of students most teachers work with throughout their career. As I start my journey to become a Special Education and English as a Second Language teacher, I am striving to discover who I am as a teacher and…

My educational experiences have influenced my decision to become an elementary special education emotional impairment (EI) teacher. Excellent teachers in my past affected my learning for the better. I became increasingly involved and interested in learning due to these teachers caring and encouraging me. I aspire to motivate students the same way these teachers motivated me by being attentive and dedicated. I want to teach students in a similar way to improve their perception of school and…

Pursuing a career in early childhood and special education has been a plan of mine since I can remember being a very young girl, however, circumstances placed before me lead me to believe perhaps it wasn’t achievable for a young country girl named; Tiaira Marie Greene.
