About me
Hi, I'm Allison! I'm a special education teacher with 14 years of experience working with high school students with diverse learning and communication needs. I currently teach in a self-contained Social Communication Skills program and serve as a Department Chair.I'm passionate about creating inclusive learning environments, supporting students with autism and other disabilities, and helping educators use data to make meaningful instructional decisions. I also have a strong interest in educational leadership, special education compliance, transition planning, and building school cultures where all students feel a sense of belonging.Outside of school, I'm a wife, mom of two, avid reader, and longtime Special Olympics coach. I've been involved with Special Olympics for over 20 years and love seeing athletes grow in confidence and independence.Talk to me about: Special education, autism supports, inclusive practices, instructional leadership, data-driven decision making, Special Olympics, books (especially romance and fantasy), classroom organization, or balancing education, family, and all the adventures in between! ๐๐๐
