Hi, I'm Kasey!
I've been a social studies and special education teacher in collaborative and self-contained classrooms.
You're in the right place if you want ideas for project based learning and adapting materials for students that need additional support!
You can grab my free Geography Skills Jeopardy Game here!
I know how hard it can be to find materials and lesson plans that are adapted for students who need extra support. That's why I started SFSEteach - to provide homeschool families and teachers with ready-made curriculums and activities that have been specifically adapted for students with different needs.
Don't stress about teaching World Geography or US History! Let me do the planning for you - I offer yearlong curriculums with guided notes, differentiated projects, activities, and assessments that have been adapted to support all students in World Geography and US History classes.
Plus, I'm always here to answer any questions you might have!
I'm currently obtaining my PhD in Special Education. I received my Bachelor's degree in History Education and my Master's degree in Special Education. I am licensed to teach special education K-12 and social studies 6-12.
Outside of work, you can find me hanging out with my dog Bella! We love to hike, explore, and take naps
