For individual teachers, I offer virtual consultations on a variety of subjects:

• Special Education and disability focused

  • • Inclusion practices
      I worked in general education classrooms for years, supporting students with disabilities. Since earning my masters degree, I have advised many teachers on the best practices for including and accommodating students who are disabled or deaf/hard of hearing.
      
      

    • Creating Individual Education Plans
      I specialize in crafting IEPs that are clear, meaningful, built on collaboration, and stand up to scrutiny. I can guide you on methods for writing sections of IEPs or collaborating with families and team members during the creation process.
      
      

• Classroom and instructional classes
  Leaning on my training and my experience in my classes as well as others', I can advise you on universal practices that can be incorporated into any content area that will enhance

  • • • Language and vocabulary learning

      • Student demonstration of knowledge

      • Social-Emotional Learning

      • And more.
        
        

• Other responsibilities
  Sometimes, we are the best version of ourselves inside the classroom, but face a whole litany of challenges with the extra duties we are expected to complete. Let me show you the strategies and "hacks" I have developed for

  • • • Using learning management systems effectively

      • Engaging in productive parent communication

      • Shifting to equitable grading policies

      • And more.

For professionals who are Deaf, virtual consultations can be held directly in American Sign Language.

If you are an administrator or a department lead hoping to set up a staff training, please reach out. With advanced notice, I can design a customized training around any of my areas of expertise:

• Inclusion of students who are deaf or hard of hearing

• Incorporating language instruction across disciplines

• Differentiation

• Using alternative, equitable grading systems

• Serving IEP/504 accommodations and modifications

Group workshops can also be tailored to classroom paraeducators or sign language interpreters.
