I started teaching school in North Carolina with eight years experience. having taught one year in Minnesota and seven in Regina. Saskatchen. While living in Canada as a landed immigrant. I took several courses of study in my field of special education and was able to work with many types of handicapped children. I also participated in a workshop on Blissvmbolics at the children's hospital in Toronto. Ontario. This sparked an interest in teaching communication skills to nonverbal children and has helped tremendously in my present position. I am very thankful for having the opportunity to teach in different school settings and for the knowledge and experi ence that I was able to bring back to the States with me. Not only am I a better teacher for it but my students are receiving a better education because of it. I have a total of 18 years teaching experience, in addition to a B.S. and a M.Ed. in my specific area. The 18 years of teaching consisted of teaching in the public schools, 2 state residential centers, and in the private sector. In addition to direct teaching, I have supervised other teachers administratively, conducted and published research, and have developed department wide curricula which are still being used after several years of implementation.
