What is the Creative Classroom?

Welcome to my blog!  In it, I hope to share evidence-based practices about working with students from diverse backgrounds and abilities.  I want to share my questions as I complete a Master's in Special Education, while also offering some ideas that really work when working with students who think differently.

I was not a good student.  My family moved a great deal.  Once, I counted that I had been in 13 different elementary schools.  I was introverted, curious, and questioning which are not qualities most teachers enjoy in their classroom.  I had a hard time with abstract concepts so math and science were difficult for me.  The one thing I could do well was read and I read all the time which I continue to do today.

I am an unlikely candidate to be a teacher and even less likely to be in graduate school.  What i hope to do in this blog is to provide ideas about students who learn differently, who think differently, and yes, act differently while also sharing my own struggles and questions about how we teach children to be successfu.
