Shara

Background:

I'm Shara, a professional educator with over fifteen years of experience serving as a paraeducator, teacher, tutor, mentor, and faculty department head. My passion for education lies in working through learning and executive function challenges with a strength-based approach and a focus on nervous system regulation. My approach is based not only on professional experience and extensive research of best practices—it is also guided by a philosophy rooted in mindfulness principles and the disability justice movement. I believe in creating an inclusive and empowering environment that respects the diverse identities and experiences of my students. Beyond academic success, I'm committed to empowering students for better lives, leveraging their strengths while navigating challenges. When I’m not working, I’m reading, making playlists, drinking coffee and enjoying life with my partner and cat.
