Special Education TOSA
Kayla Miller kmiller@mesd.k12.or.us Cell: 503-560-6210 Kayla got her start in teaching while living in Boston, where she taught Special Education in an inclusion classroom during the school year and served as a principal in an inclusion summer school during my summer breaks. After thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, she and her husband/hiking partner fell in love with the west coast and formally moved to Portland a few years ago. Kayla loves working with the Hospital School Program and Wynne Watts because everyday brings a new challenge. As the Special Education Teacher on Special Assignment (TOSA), she works with the teachers at every site, so she's constantly learning from those who know the sites and situations best and providing support when possible. |
