Circles In Motion

Hello! My name is Julie and I have been a special education teacher for 5 years, and general education teacher for 3 years. I have experience teaching in Kindergarten through 5th grade. I earned my bachelor's degree in elementary education from Saint Xavier University in Chicago in 2004, and my master's degree in multicategorical special education from Governors State University in 2008. I have extensive experience working in special education creating and developing goals and objectives for IEP's. I have been the case manager for students with a wide range of disabilities, including emotional and behavioral disorders, speech and language impairments, autism, Asperger's syndrome, and Williams syndrome. I also have been a private tutor for 7 years, specializing in the areas of Reading, Language Arts, Writing, and Mathematics. Over the course of my teaching and tutoring, I have used such educational programs as Soar to Success, Great Source, CRISS (Creating Independence through Student Owned Strategies), Lexia computer based reading intervention programs, and the aimsweb monitoring system. I have also been training in the MNRI (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration) method. I have taken numerous classes on the method, and plan on becoming a core specialist in the near future.
