About Carole
Carole Leila Cramer's passion for special education is evidenced by her varied experience, first as a Special Education Assistant for 4.5 years, and her 10+ years as a Special Education teacher.
Prior to her current position as a mentor teacher, Carole worked as a Resource Specialist Teacher in a high performing charter school in Los Angeles, California. She's worked in grades Pre-K to high school special education class settings.
Carole’s work with students with learning differences ranged from as mild as Specific Learning Disability (Difference) to as severe as Autism and Emotional Disturbance. It was during this time that she honed her teaching and classroom management skills and learned to not leave any child behind… no matter what their difference.
After earning her Bachelor’s in Human Development from Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, California, shortly thereafter, Carole earned her Education Specialist Teaching credential and Master’s in Special Education from Loyola Marymount University in Westchester, California.
Carole can be found diligently writing on her blog, Special 2 Me (http://specialedandme.wordpress.com).
