He is my son.
How have they made an impact?
He has worked with special education students for his entire career. He loves it and mentors them with dignity, appreciation, and intelligence. He exemplifies respect for them and teaches them that respect is something they deserve and should emulate toward others.
He has also been a high school basketball coach and brings all that experience into his classroom as well. His students and staff highly respect him for his professionalism, sense of humor, fairness, and the kindness he shows to others.
“SPED” students are in need of teachers like him as consultants who help them navigate situations that may not yet be personally understood or experienced.
What are three words that best describe them?
Dignified, Personable and Compassionate..
