Sarah is a K-6th Grade Special Education Resource Specialist. She has been a teacher for eight years and designs her classroom to meet the social and emotional requirements of her special needs students. Her mission is to do what is within her power to change our school system’s design to be more inclusive. Reavis’ classroom is a safe place where it is ok to not be ok. Her students are partners in their education where they should see themselves embedded within the lesson materials with which they are being taught.
