So, the blog that I had been writing for a couple of years mysteriously disappeared from Blogger. Disappeared as in I have no idea what happened to it. I'm not sure if it was deleted by Google...but my original "The Write Combo" is MIA.
And I just couldn't have that.
So here goes TWC, Version 2.0.
If it's been a while since the last time you read...let me reintroduce myself.
My name is Kristin. (Hello and thanks for being here!) I am a 30-something-year-old from Southern California. I teach a 1st/2nd Special Day Class for students with mild to moderate disabilities. This year will be 11th year teaching and 12+ years in public education.
Apart from being a full-time teacher, I am also a wife and mom to two children (a 5-year-old daughter and 16-year-old stepson). When I am not teaching or living the #MomLife, I volunteer my time on the Board of Directors of CUE Los Angeles and act as their Communications Director - a position that I have held for the last three years and absolutely LOVE!
I also work for our LA County Office of Education as an Induction Mentor, working with new teachers to the field. I've had the amazing pleasure of working with some wonderful special education candidates over the last couple of years. I love mentoring so much that I started with a new mentorship program through CPTP (Community Partnerships for Teacher Pipeline) through the community college that I attended. I love that I get to work with students who are just joining the Teacher TRAC program and want to be future teachers!
If you've made it this far and aren't completely bored yet, stick around for some more to come. This should be an interesting year!
