Distinguished Teacher Paul Vernon

Amazing lesson plans will engage, challenge, and inspire. Your energy and passion are important. Classrooms should be safe places for all who enter. Always reward excellent effort and positive behavior. Recognize and utilize student and staff talents. Respect, empower, and retain quality para-educators. An effective program will have students believing in themselves, enjoying school, and consistently improving.

The essence of teaching students with special needs is sharing victories with people who can appreciate the challenges that have been overcome. It will bring tears to your eyes, melt your heart, and bring pure joy to your soul.
