Becoming a teacher has always been a dream of mine. As a child, my friends and I would play school. We would use my friend Crystal's garage as a school; we would set up chalk boards and "do/grade" assignments. It was always such a fun experience.
The sound of chalk on a chalk board has always caught my attention in a positive way. (Yes, I am "dating" myself. I grew up in the 90's and was able to experience the sound of chalk running across a chalk board, communicating the teacher's information.
My first "real" job was at a preschool/daycare; I worked my way up from teacher's assistant to lead teacher. I spent seven years at that preschool, but it was time for me to move onto to better pay/hours. I moved on to become a Para Educator. It was at Proviso Area For Exceptional Children that I learned that I had a passion for working/teaching students in Special Education.
