"Hi! I'm Sadie and I'm currently an undergrad student at The Ohio State University. I'm pursuing a degree in Integrated Language Arts Education and have a passion for teaching! I have two years of official teaching experience and I'm officially ParaPro and gened Praxis certified. My teaching experience is primarily from internships shadowing middle school teachers but I'm always happy to teach Language Arts regardless of age.
I have personally found success teaching students with autism and consider myself fairly knowledgeable on the subject. I understand the considerations needed to teach students with autism and my focus as a teacher is to be as accessible as possible so as to teach any type of student. I have witnessed firsthand how students with disabilities get ignored in general education classrooms due to an instructor who cannot understand their needs. I try to make my teaching as personalized as possible when doing one-on-one and it is my priority to understand what a student needs so I can help them as efficiently as possible. I personally work best with examples and demonstrations so I often default to that but I encourage student communication so that we will always pursue the method that makes sense to you." less...
