Welcome to my classroom, I'm Melissa Bosstick, I've been in the learning environment for over a combined 10 years, teaching preschool, working with 1-6th grade at risk with dyslexia and learning disabilities, coaching adults, substitute teaching for K-12 (in many classrooms) and in a high school contained classroom for special education.
I teach Language arts (phonics, reading, writing, snd comprehension), math, science, social studies and life skills. I use a combination of direct teach with student centered activities in my classroom. I believe it's important to ask challenging questions and allow my students to do the same. I encourage the process of problem solving and independent thinking. I was trained at the University of Indianapolis in elementary education with a focus on special education and am finishing up at WGU. I've also been certified in the Orton-gillingham method at the Dyslexia Institute of Indianapolis, which is a multi-sensory phonics technique to teach reading and comprehension.
In my down time you will find me walking & listening to my latest audio book!
