Hello everyone! In addition to my teaching duties, I'm honored to be Scholastic's "Classroom Solutions Online Teacher Mentor" for grades 6-8, and publish a weekly blog discussing best practices within my classroom. If you have a chance, take a look! Hopefully you will find something worthwhile for your students, and I would LOVE to hear your feedback! (http://blogs.scholastic.com/classroom_solutions/addie_albano/) I teach 7th and 8th grade special education in a self-contained classroom at beautiful Randolph Jr/Sr High School in Randolph NY. One of the most challenging aspects of my job is teaching all four subjects across both grade levels, especially since each has multiple state exams at the end of the year. Thankfully, I have the best students in the world who make my job enjoyable each day! Some of my interests include project based learning, differentiated instruction, 21st century skills, and behavior management. This is my first year working with Edmodo and am looking forward to sharing this amazing resource with my students and peers!
