Hello! My name is Mattie Edmonston. I have been working with Manassas City Public Schools since 2019 as a Preschool Special Education Teacher. I received my Bachelor's degree from Roanoke College in French and International Relations. I received a Master's in Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Early Childhood Special Education (Birth-5) and Early Childhood Education (Pre-K-3rd grade). I am currently working on my second Masters in Special Education with a focus on Applied Behavior Analysis. Before working with Manassas City Public Schools, I worked for two years in Fairfax County  as a 3rd grade French Immersion teacher. I also worked for two years with the Arc of Loudoun- Open Door Learning Center in an inclusion setting with both general education and special education students. Over the summers, I worked at a daycare center as a Lead summer teacher for ages 5-12 before it shut down. I am very excited about helping my students grow and become more independent learners throughout this school year!
