Lisa+R.

==I'm Lisa Richardson. I teach Special Education in Madison at Kings Road Elementary School. I have taught here for nine years, providing in class support as well as small group instruction in math, reading, and writing. I am certified in the Orton Gillingham and Wilson multisensory reading programs. I received my Masters from RTC in 2009, where I completed my Action Research Project on the significance of Emotional Intelligence in the classroom. I love what I do; my students make me smile (and sometimes bite my lip to stifle laughter) everyday. I never want to stop learning, changing, and growing. ==
