ABOUT MICHELLE WHITE  .                                

Dear Educators,

In reviewing my resume from the PAREAP website you may get the impression that I have not done anything substantial in a professional manner for a period of about 15 years. This would be an incomplete picture of my work history.  For this reason I directed you to this website so that you can learn a little more about me.

Also, please take into consideration that I have raised my daughter Kate (age 20) who has Down syndrome and is also autistic. I have been involved in her education throughout her life and have exposure to all types of special needs children.

Learn about my involvement in Special Education since 1993 in the Lancaster area where I was an invited guest speaker on the topic of Down syndrome. I have spoken at numerous churches, support groups, and  In-Service days for school districts.

What is also not evident in my resume is that I was a long-term substitute in the Solanco School District while I lived in Holtwood, PA.  My long-term sub positions included 3 months Learning Support grade 5 & 6, 2 months substitute  in an Autism class, three months substitute in Quarryville High School with learning disabled students.

You can learn how I began HEART for the Nations, a humanitarian organization focusing on Environmental Education and helping indigenous people in Central America.
