AboutMy name is Jamie Reese and I am currently a Special Education Teacher in Simi Valley. I am passionate about teaching, helping all students learn, Google Apps for Education, Edtech and helping other teachers learn and try new things. I believe in a student-centered classroom and that homework is detrimental to students. The face of education is evolving and I'm excited to see where it goes.
I started off in the district as a paraprofessional while I was going to college. I completed my bachelor's degree and multiple subject teaching credential at Cal State University Northridge. I taught general education for a few years, but was getting RIFed each year so I decided to go back to school to get my mild/moderate credential. I have been teaching special education in a special day class for students with emotional disturbances ever since. I love what I do and it is here I have found my passion. On a personal level, I am an avid LA Kings Hockey fan. (Go Kings go!) I am an avid reader of all things. I am a dog mom to my pup Toby. He is a rescue-mom was German Shepherd and the dad was a mix. He is a handful and a survivor of distemper. Degrees and Certifications
