Student Teaching- Metro North Elementary School, Special Education- Over the course of seven weeks, I planned and implemented a variety of teaching styles to meet the needs of students with special needs.  By following the students' IEPs and differentiating my style of teaching, the students' needs were met on a variety of levels.
