Hello! I am Elaine Beason and my title at school is Professor of Special Education. I have taught at A&M Texarkana for over 21 years. I love it here and love my students.

I live in Mt. Pleasant with my husband of 34 years. We have two grown children. Our son and his wife have given us two precious grandchildren. They live in Mt. Pleasant so I get to keep them often.

The picture was taken with Dr. Temple Grandin who spoke at a conference we attended last fall. She was very gracious to take her picture with us. Did you see the recent movie about her? The movie won an Adacemy Award. The others in the picture are students in our EC-6 and Special Education certification programs. They will soon be full-fledged teachers!

I have never made an E-Portfolio on Wikispaces so this is not perfect. I am learning like most of you. Some of you probably already know how to work in Wikispaces. That is great! You can help the rest of us!

I hope you enjoy this assignment. I also hope you will be able to use it with your students. I think they will get a kick out of it and learn something too. Enjoy yourself! Your site will be something you can use and change as you desire. I think it will be a showcase for your skills and knowledge of assessment of learning.
