I have said it before and I will say it again, “Lisa Hales is simply one of the best special
education teachers that I have ever seen!.” Go into Lisa’s classroom and you will find the same
high expectations as in a regular education classroom. Students are on task- which is no easy
job- because those tasks differ or are differentiated for each student. Lisa is positive, upbeat,
encouraging- as she holds firm. I have been in special education classrooms where the
environment was negative where students act like they have given up on learning-students are
disengaged-- but in Lisa’s class – she gets them to work- the students are excited because they
know they are learning! Her students love her- they love being in her class- they love helping
each other- there is a family feel. Lisa takes students who struggle and gives them a chance to
succeed. Sage Creek shines because of all of our teachers- but we cannot shine without bringing
up our special education kids- and with Lisa’s help- they truly are all of our students- and all of
them are moving up!
