My name is Colleen Reburn. This is my first full year as the ELEVATE teacher at Renner, however, this is my seventh year teaching. All my teaching experience has been in special education, however, I spent most of my time teaching Resource/Inclusion at Wyatt Elementary. My degree is actually in Deaf Education, but I am slowly working on getting my Master's degree in Special Education with a Graduate Academic Certificate in Autism. I have an 11-year-old son, who is starting his first year of middle school at Wilson MS this year. He is autistic and in their CONNECT classroom. We live with my 74-year-old mom and our two dogs, Simon and Minnie. I am so excited to have your students this year. They will be with me most of the school day with the exception of Partner's PE. We cover all subjects in my classroom, including math, reading, science, social studies, and social skills. Your students will also have the opportunity to interact with general education peers as part of Renner's HOPE student program throughout the school day!
