Preparing and Planning for Positive Behavior Support (PBS), Part 2

**Dr. Lahna Tate, Group 2 (Kristy Bell, Robert Cowan, Lisa Tuttle, Zakiyyah Watts and LaSheba Woodal)**
My name is Robert Cowan. I have a very strange life story, but I'll focus on life since teaching. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Business Adminstration with a major in computer information systems in 2001, September 12th to be exact. Not a great time to complete a degree. I worked for one year as a parapro in 2006 in a mild-austism classroom. I have taught four years in Gwinnett County Georgia and am looking forward to completing this program. I completed my teaching certificate at the University of Georgia. I have five kids and work constantly. If you notice, most of my posts are late night, its the only time the house is quiet. I read my Walden e-mail most days and can be contacted by phone at 678-910-4594.

My name is Lisa Tuttle. I received my Bachelor’s in Science from Bowling Green State University (BGSU) in May of 2007; concentrating as an Intervention Specialist. I will receive a Master’s in Science in Special Education from Walden University in April of 2011. I am currently working as an Itinerant Deaf Educator in the State of Texas. An Itinerant teaching job entails a caseload of students that vary in grade levels (i.e., PPCD-12th) and functional levels (i.e. Life Skills, Support Facilitate, Inclusive Classrooms, Mainstreamed, etc.). My caseload this year entails having 19 students ranging in various grades: PPCD to 12th Grade. Each student has an RDSPD (Regional Day School for the Deaf) IEP (Individualized Education Plan) that I implement within each session with my individual students. If you need to contact me, please contact me at: Lisa.Tuttle1@waldenu.edu. I work generally from 6am-2:45pm; however, please feel free to contact me at any time. If you contact me at my AOL e-mail address, I will be able to respond more promptly, especially if I am unable to be near a computer.

My name is Kristy Bell. I received my BA in Elementary Education from the University of Montana. I will receive my Master's in Science in Special Education from Walden University at the end of this month! I have worked as an instructional assistant where I worked one on one with a first grader who was LD and EBD. From there, I moved to Las Vegas where I began teaching second grade. This is my sixth year teaching second grade, my third year teaching in an inclusion classroom. If you need to contact me, you can email me at my Walden email: kristy.bell@waldenu.edu or my personal email: kaj_21@hotmail.com. I work from 8 am to 4 pm, but you can email me anytime. You can also contact me by phone at 406-546-5704. I look forward to working with everyone this week! -Kristy

My name is LaSheba Woodall-Hilliard. I am a newlywed! I got married March 12, 2011, so this has truly been an exciting semester. I received my B.A. degree in Special Education with an endorsement in mild-moderate MR at the University of Mississippi. I will also be completing my Master's in Special Education from Walden University in April 2011. I live in Tennessee where I work as a seventh and eighth grade special education teacher in a self-contained setting. This is my fourth year as a teacher. I taught one year as a seventh grade Language Arts resource teacher, and two years in an eighth grade inclusion Language Arts class. My contact information is lasheba.woodall@waldenu.edu.
