"If a child can't learn by the way that I teach, then I must teach in a way that he can learn."

Greetings!  My name is Yolanda Ross.  I am a first and second grade Inclusion Teacher.  I have a strong belief that all children are capable of learning.  I truly believe that education is the the key to success.  In my quest for success, I have obtained several degrees.  After graduating East Side High School in 2005, I attended Mississippi State University.  In 2009, I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Educational Psychology.  In 2012, I obtained my Master's Degree in Special Education from Delta State University.  In 2014, I obtained my Specialist's Degree in Elementary Education from Delta State University as well.  

As an educator, I feel that teachers can help change and shape the world; one student at a time!!

"To some, a disability may seem like a broken binding on an old book. However, the inside remains full of inspiration, motivation, and life. Once you take the time to understand the unique qualities of a child with special needs, you begin to see them for who they really are; EXCEPTIONAL."
