Welcome to my EDT 3010 Portfolio Hello my name is Kathryn Lucier, I have been teaching children of all ages since I was fifteen. I started out a swim instructor; there I found I was a natural with children. At the age of twenty-one I was in desperate need of a job, a good friend of mine ran a teeny tiny daycare and set me up with a job. In no time I was running the preschool room and loved it. It was also my inspiration to become an elementary school teacher. I stayed at “Children’s Garden Learning Center” for about three years. I moved down south so I could begin studing at Metropolitain State Colloege of Denver and I will be graduating next fall. When I moved I found another teaching job at “Crème de la Crème” I was a two-year-old teacher. There I met a wonderful little boy named Charlie, who had major learning disabilities. I was asked by his speech therapist and his parents to work with him one-on-one. Not long after I started he was diagnosed with autism. I worked closely for two years with a few different speech and occupational therapists, so that he could get caught up with the rest of his peers. Charlie is now excelling beyond what was ever expected and now is doing very well in school. I learned so much working with Charlie and the therapist that I now have a better knowledge of all different types of learning styles for all types of children.
