Jen Hedrick
Mountain Heights Academy Special Education Teacher- Online
jhedrick@mountainheightsacademy.org
I have a passion for teaching students with Specific Learning Disabilities, and specifically students who need specific Behavioral Support in the online school settig. After teaching Self-Contained Behavior Units in traditional school settings for many years, I was excited to join Mountain Heights Academy (formally Open High School of Utah) in 2012. I found that teaching Special Education online was a new, uncharted territory! Since then, I've identified key Self Advocacy and Functioning Skills which specifically connect to our students' success and built curriculum and assessments to support SpEd students in our online Directed Studies class. This year, my goal is to share some of this curriculum as OER!
