Hello,

I am JULIE MCKISSICK and I teach Vista's English II, World History and 6th Period

Intervention.   I previously taught special education for 15 years at Joan Macy School

on the campus of the David & Margaret Youth and Family Services, and served one year

as a reading specialist at Canyon View School on the campus of McKinley's Children's

Home. I have a Social Studies Single-Subject Secondary Teaching Credential, a VPSS-

Tier II English Teaching Credential, a Special Education Teaching Credential, a Masters

of Special Education , and an Administrative Credential .  I love teaching challenging

and at-risk students; my specialty is finding creative, nurturing ways for formally

 resistant and discouraged students to enjoy learning.  Additionally, I have a special

heart for foster and probation youth.  The 1:1 technology and small class sizes we offer

are tremendously motivating and advantageous.  I am also pleased to be serving a

second year as teacher-leader of our Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports

System (PBIS).
