Paraprofessional
I started working at Ogdensburg Elementary School in 2018 as a paraprofessional in the MD (multiple disability classroom). In my first year there I worked with students who were non-verbal, used walkers/arm braces to help them get around, were autistic, and had other disabilities along with learning disorders. For the following few years, I worked in 1st-grade general and 1st & 2nd-grade special education.

ABOUT
My name is Christina Bradley. I am married and have 3 children. I have a mini farm at home that consists of 100 chickens, 3 big dogs, and 16 cats. My family and I volunteer with and animal rescue, we have placed around 200 kittens and cats in their furever homes.
As a young child I always wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. I was in resource classrooms my whole life. I am dyslexic and have learning disabilities, because of that I relate well with struggling students and understand their frustration at school. I have learned many tricks over the years that have helped me complete my classwork and can not wait to share them with my students.
I am currently going to college at Grand Canyon University and will have my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education

SKILLS
Professional Competencies
Pre-K through 3rd-Grade Early Childhood General Education Certified
Teaching younger grades is something I have dreamed of since I was a young child. Now as an adult I have completed this dream.
Multiple Disability Educator
A few year into working at a public school in the MD (multiple disabilities classroom) as a paraprofessional I decided teaching was definitely what I should be doing.
Pre-k through 3rd-grade Early Childhood Special Education Certified
As a young and through high school, I was classified and in the resource classroom. The older I got the more I wanted to be a special education teacher. I now have my bachelor degree to teacher special education.
