In our October episode Dr. Margy Jones-Carey speaks to Sharon Hance on professional learning, with a focus on students with differing abilities.

Sharon Hance's first teaching position was in Southern Maryland where she taught for 13 years in both self contained and inclusive/co-taught classrooms.  Sharon had the opportunity, while living in Maryland, to get her Masters Degree at Johns Hopkins and worked as an Inclusion Facilitator and Assistive Technology Specialist.  Returning to the western region of New York state in 2002, she had the good fortune of working alongside the team Erie 1 BOCES as well as at Smallwood Drive Elementary in Amherst.  Sharon Hance joined Alden as the Director of Student and Staff Learning in August of 2015 and considers working and learning in this community, an honor.
