Biographie de l'auteur

I have taught both middle and high school special education LD students, and high school average English students in a collaborative setting. I have given several workshops to both middle and high school English and Special Education teachers in using this method for teaching essay writing. The 11th grade English teachers at my high school use these materials to prepare their average students for the Standards of Learning writing test. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Northern Michigan University in 1971 and my Master's Degree in Special Education from The College of William and Mary in 1976. I retired from full-time teaching in 2002 after 30 years in the classroom, of many which I was also Department Chairman of Special Education at the high school level. I now teach part-time at the high school level in Newport News.
