After more than twenty years of working with teens and young adults at a teen center, before- and after-school programs in the Lowell Public Schools, and as a paraprofessional, I decided to become a teacher. I noticed I had to work extra hard in class because I did not learn like every other student. As I got older, I learned about different learning styles and wanted to bring that knowledge to any classroom or lesson I was a part of or taught.
Just because you learn differently does not mean you are any less than anyone else. As the 5/6 Adjustment teacher, I am committed to empowering students to reach their academic aspirations and assuring them that they can succeed in anything they set their mind.
