MEd Special Education

 My name is Rashawn Grissom and I am currently a 1st grade teacher in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School System.  I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Winston-Salem State University where I minored in Special Education.  While pursuing my minor, I proved to myself and professors that I would make a great teacher.  I wanted to become a special education teacher, based off of my field experiences in the regular education classrooms.  I saw many special needs students being ignored and looked over.  This inspired me to want to make a difference in the lives of special needs children.  I believe that ALL children can learn, they just need teachers willing to sacrifice the time and patience to teach them.  I am and want to be that teacher.
