Meeting the Needs of Diverse Populations
I had an autistic student who is a talented in math assist a struggling student. I was mindful of the feelings of special needs students and worked one on one with them to make them more comfortable in their learning environment. I have helped many of my special needs students to come out of their shell. At first they seemed quiet but now they are willing to answer questions and address the class.
I have candid conversations with students about the need to stick together and not ostracize others. We operate as a family unit, and congratulate each other on their achievements.

I plan to attend workshops and professional developments to help me hone my skills as an educator. This summer I will participate in a math workshop that introduces real world problems & applications for students, along with a forensic workshop with techniques that can be used for probability and statistics.
I want to familiarize myself with the community in which I work, and make use of its resources such as the Detroit Public Schools Mathematics and Science Center.
