Why Jahada is excited to be on the All Minds team
I love every representation of what I do as an educator. My favorite part is helping
students to find the words to share what they want. I have a knack for reading,
writing and all things literacy. I want students to have the same opportunities in education as those who follow a neurotypical route. I am here to prove to others that there are no limits to the way a student learns as long as they have the proper resources that can accommodate their individual learning styles. My students describe me as “a believer in our ability".
​
I am truly excited to be a part of All Minds Academy because the goals are aligned with
what I want to do professionally. Ever since I started my work using the letter boards, I have
always looked for ways to build a curriculum that’s engaging, fulfilling, level-appropriate and accessible to non-speakers all over. I believe All Minds Academy is one of the foundations in helping me to do so. I’m really looking forward to working with other professionals to help build this into a reality.
