  I utilized a variety of instructional techniques to meet the individual needs of students. I utilized Best Practice Models in Behavior Modification and classroom management techniques. I created tiered assignments and lessons to differentiate for special needs, behaviors, and ESL students. I supervised and trained Special Education Paraprofessionals to support student needs. I diagnosed and analyzed student progress and programs for the purpose of providing appropriate instruction based on the developmental stages of students.
