- Abstract:
An elementary special education teacher talks about finding support in challenging situations. Kira Martin has had more different experiences in her six years of teaching than some people have in a whole career. She taught Language Arts for the Peace Corps in Granada for two years. On returning to the United States, she taught “cross-categorical special education” in first through third grades both as a resource teacher and in a self-contained classroom. The following year she taught sixth-grade students with learning disabilities, then math and social studies to academically gifted sixth graders. After taking a year off to get her master’s degree, she moved to “a straight fourth grade classroom,” and finally to fourth grade AIG Academically and Intellectually Gifted math.”
Not all of these situations have been ideal, but in every school she was able to build a support network that helped her to grow professionally and personally.
