Guest today is Jennifer. She is in her 10th year of teaching and teaches in a self contained classroom. Her first year of teaching was high school level at a Board of Developmental Disabilities. Since then she has been teaching combinations of K-5 at a public elementary school. She knew in high school that she had a sort of calling to teach special education. She went to college to teach special education and kind of lost her way, wasn't the best student and changed her major to hotel management. She stayed at home with her kids for 9 years and spent so much time volunteering in the school that her husband suggested getting a job in the schools. She became a teacher's aide. She was then inspired and encouraged by a teacher to go back to school and several years later, she graduated. After her first year of teaching, she was hired by the district she went to work in and children went to. Her amazing story with one of her students, Aiden, is truly inspiring. Take a listen and find out for yourself. Stay tuned for more stories to come!
