Hello, my name is Molleigh Rinke. I am a dedicated Special Education professional and soon to be graduate of Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary and Special Education. My teaching philosophy is built on the belief that every student deserves an inclusive, equitable environment where their unique strengths are celebrated and their challenges are met with evidence-based support. With a specialized focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), I have developed a deep understanding of how to create structured learning spaces that prioritize student dignity and independence.

My goal as an educator is to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student, especially those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential. By utilizing evidence-based instructional frameworks like the Science of Reading, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), I aim to provide specialized instruction that meets the unique developmental and academic needs of every child. I am committed to using data-driven progress monitoring to ensure my teaching remains effective and adaptive, helping students build the skills they need for independence both inside and outside the classroom.
