After a twenty year hiatus from (paid) classroom teaching I will be headed back into the classroom this fall! I am thrilled to share that I have been offered a job at the elementary school in West Boylston! My classroom will serve students with significant special needs from grades K-4. They will spend the majority of their day with me and my staff, and I will work with their grade level teachers to support their inclusion within their grade level classrooms as well. This was pretty much my exact job when I taught in Hudson and I have to admit I loved it! It was like my own one room schoolhouse! 
Of course, with this exciting news comes the sad reality that I only have roughly twelve weeks left with friends and collogues that I adore working with at NECC. For all the insanity that scheduling like 400 IEP meetings a year has brought my way I am truly going to miss everyone that I have had the privilege to work with over the course of the past six years. It has been both an honor and a privilege to come along side some of the finest educators, BCBAs, OTs, PTs, SLPs, Vocational Specialists, ACE Curriculum staff and everyone in between to support your work and the IEP process. I truly wish I could clone myself so that I could be in both places simultaneously!
I am not sure when my job will be posted, but I imagine that it will be soon. I wasn't sure the best way to get this news out but I wanted to be sure that you all heard it from me rather than learning about it from a job posting. I am hopeful that my role will be filled quickly so that I can have as much time with my successor as possible before my last day.
And here I was thinking that when Emma graduated at the end of this month that my teaching days were over!
