ABOUT
Meet Me:
Grace Dodson
Welcome to my journey in Special Education! I'm Grace Dodson, and I am thrilled to embark on my first year as a Special Education Teacher. With passion and a dedication to inclusivity, I am committed to creating a supportive and strengthening environment for all my students.
​
As a first-year teacher, I bring a fresh perspective and excitement for helping each student grow and develop. My journey into Special Education has been guided by experiences in and out of the classroom in my past few years of student teaching. Prepared with a degree in Special Education from the University of Texas, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to support and advocate for my students' strengths and needs.
​
In my classroom, you'll find a space that celebrates diversity and embraces a growth mindset. I believe in the power of differentiated instruction, personalized learning plans, and meaningful accommodations to ensure that every student has the opportunity to grow and reach their full potential.
​
Beyond academics, I am dedicated to crafting a sense of belonging and empowerment for my students. I aim to create a safe and nurturing environment where students are valued, respected, and encouraged to embrace their differences as well as become advocates for themselves.
​
Outside of the classroom, I am passionate about reading, running, and spending time with those I love, which often shapes my approach to teaching and learning. Whether it's incorporating creative activities, exploring diverse teaching strategies, or collaborating with families and staff, I am always seeking ways to develop myself and the educational experience I can provide for my students.
​
I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to have a positive impact on my students and contribute to an inclusive and open community.
