About
Cheryl Gentz
3rd, 4th, 5th grade Special Education Teacher
I have been teaching in this district for 13 years. The students are mostly at or below the poverty level with limited access to technology. The students in my class room are students with special needs. They have limited academic and social functioning. I believe that all students, are able to learn at their own pace. In order for the students to feel independent and successful (at their own pace) we need technology.

Teaching is truly my my calling in life-- teaching chose me and it has continued to be such a good fit for me.
