This has led me to be the full-time Special Education teacher I am today.I have educated students with Cognitive Impairments, ASD, ADHD, Learning Disabilities (in math and ELA), and Emotional Impairments, as well as but not limited to physical impairments.It has always been a pleasure working with our special needs population.

Hello, my name is Dezarae. I was born and raised in the middle of the United States, better known as, Kansas. My parents were military and stationed at, Ft. Riley, KS, army base.

I am a Sonographer specializing in breast ultrasounds for 7 years. I started my ultrasound education after completing my Bachelor's of Science in Biology. I was very unsure of what I wanted to do after undergrad but I found ultrasound and I have been enjoying it every since!I began my ultrasound career at a Level II Trauma Hospital where I learned, trained, and excelled in abdominal, obstetrics and gynecology, small parts, and limited vascular ultrasound studies. While working there I obtained certifications for ARDMS in abdominal , ob/gyn and breast sonography.I started training in Breast imaging shorty after starting at the hospital. I love doing breast ultrasounds because I work very close with the radiologist who give great learning advice and help. The patient aspect in this field is very different from the hospital setting and I enjoyed the more personal time spent with the patients and really helping them to have a peace of mind.Ultrasound is a field that is growing and changing rapidly. I feel proud to be in such a unique and growing area, where I know I can help other students too! I remember where I started and felt almost like I wasn't cut out to do ultrasounds but I had great support from family, friends and school was a big help. If I can help just one student learn and gain max potential then I feel like my life in ultrasound has come full circle.

I have completed my doctoral degree in education from Grand Canyon University, EdD. I have received two master's degrees: an MBA-Finance and an MA in Adult Education. My undergraduate degree was in nursing science. I have been tutoring students for over thirty years, preparing each to pass standardized tests for entry into a healthcare profession. Being the only child and coming from a very poor environment, I learned the opportunities that having an education can provide for you and your family. Education improved the quality of my life and my family. As a creative and innovative educator, leader, and professional administrator, I thrive on challenges and change. Nurturing and encouraging the lifelong learning of students is critical in the role of an educator. Techniques like case studies, activities, discussions, and even humor can prompt students to think critically, creatively, and explore their natural curiosity. As an educator, students will feel that no question is too silly to ask. My educational beliefs are based on the fact that learning is a possibility for everyone. Learning occurs when the educator is able to link, in the brain, a bridge from the lack of knowledge to new knowledge, then the student comprehends.

"Each one, teach one" is a motto that I live by as an educator. It is my firm belief that all students can learn and grow if there is a determined educator leading the classroom. As an educator, it is my job to facilitate the discussions in class as well as a guide to how to think on a deeper level. Knowing how crucial critical thinking is in today's modern world, I challenge each student from the onset of class to broaden their horizons of thinking. Students testify that after completing my class, there are no mountains too high for them to climb nor valley's low enough in their life that cannot be conquered. All students become more than academic conquerors. Their self-esteem soars and they have a meaning of accomplishment. Education is my calling and I have answered with students that once felt as if math was an enemy, now view it as a weapon placed in their academic arsenal. By teaching students how to dig deeper into the ground of learning, each year I receive the greatest teacher appreciation gift; student learning. With my knowledge and passion for learning it would be my pleasure to partner with you to increase academic learning.

I believe all students can learn. We just need to find the right ways to teach them. Not every student learns in the same way, so it is up to teachers and tutors to help students discover how they learn best. It is often hard to find this out in a classroom of 25 or more students, but with a tutor, students can often find out how they can become lifelong learners and enrich their lives in the process.

Sharon

I have aspired to be a teacher since I was a child. My sisters and I would play school all the time. I grew to enjoy helping my peers learn how to understand concepts, and even tutor students younger than myself while I was in high school. My mother fostered my passion for teaching as she inspired me to search for the answers to my questions rather than settling for what was in the textbook. I have never liked to watch a student struggle to understand a concept, so I would find other ways to explain what they could not understand. My first classroom teaching experience began in 1991, in a physical science classroom. I faced ten special needs students who had to pass the end-of-course exam to earn their diplomas. In all of my 31.5 years of education, this was the most stressful, yet most rewarding opportunity. The challenge was great, but we worked as a team to accomplish the learning tasks. Nine of the ten earned their credit. There have been other challenges along the journey; I chose to approach every challenge differently. Every student is different. That requires a different approach to teaching and learning. My Biology degree with Teacher Certification was obtained in 1991 from Pembroke State University, which is now UNC-Pembroke, in Pembroke, North Carolina. In 2008, I obtained my Masters in Secondary Education from Grand Canyon University, primarily because I aspired to search for higher employment in education. However, that desire subsided as I dealt with the passing of my mother. In 2010, I regained my love for lifelong learning and entered the Doctoral program of Instructional Leadership at Grand Canyon University. Online learning was enjoyable for me. Between 2010 and 2017, I went through several surgeries that eventually led me to pause that degree. Three chapters of my dissertation were written; maybe I will resume that at some point. I thoroughly enjoy teaching Biology, Physical science, and Earth science. The higher-level sciences are engaging and intriguing; however, I enjoy working with struggling students so I choose to focus on these courses. I have had the honor of teaching honors-level classes, which proved very rewarding as well. The math in these sciences corresponds to basic algebra, so I could tutor algebra as well. I enjoy math and science because students learn to use critical thinking and reasoning skills that will help them with real-life problem-solving. My philosophy has always been simple--Every student can learn, but every student can not learn the same way as another student. Knowing how a student learns is critical to achieving mastery. Presenting the information in various ways, whether physically in the classroom or online, is essential to mastery. Using the internet resources available is a must when striving toward mastery with all students.

I completed my Master's of Education in Special Education at Grand Canyon University on December 2021. The Master's degree in helping students with mild to moderate disabilities. My Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Sciences from Portland State University. My philosophy is each child has a unique way to learn. Some children are auditory learners, some are visual learners, and others are a combination of both. It is easy to learn in an environment that makes children curious and not afraid to take chances. Children need to use their mental abilities and social skills, take what they learned, and apply it to life learning. A teacher is to guide and help them but not enabling the child by being overly helpful. Children learn best through hands-on activities and exploring their world. I have two quotes that I believe. The first one is, "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has to own reasoning for existing" By Albert Einstein. The second quote is "Mistakes are proof you are learning" Jennifer Lim.
