A Teaching Portfolio

Building Confidence.
Creating Connections.
Inspiring Growth.

My name is Autumn Ponce. I am a mother, a Bay Mills Community College student, and a virtual speech therapy aide on my way to becoming a special education teacher — building classrooms where every student feels seen, supported, and valued.

Dignity First

Every student deserves to be seen, heard, and respected in the classroom.

Individualized Support

Instruction meets each learner where they are and grows with them.

Meaningful Growth

Progress is celebrated on each student's own path, not against anyone else's.
