I am a special education teacher licensed in SLD, EBD, and elementary education. I have taught for 15 years in a variety of K-12 settings.
Location: St. Paul, MN
Standard Set Answer:I am intesested in differentiated instruction because it is very relevant to my job as a special education teacher. I would like to participate in the course to experience online learning. The charter district for which I work has two large online programs for K-12 students and I may consider working in one as an online teacher some day. Decreasing my deficits in networking and technology skills while working full time and parenting is keeping me plenty busy, so I am not interested in helping with course organization.
