Hearing Impaired (HI) - Explorer Program
Cassee Melendez - Explorer/Lead Teacher

I am a native Tucsonan from a family of educators. I am proficient in American Sign Language (ASL), received a Bachelor of Arts in Exceptional Education: Early Childhood and a Master of Arts in Early Childhood Special Education: Neurology of Autism. Having over 10 years in the field of early childhood special education, I have worked with children in a variety of settings including the Center for Hearing Impaired Children (CHIC), Project ABLE, and Explorer program.
I believe in the benefits of early intervention and utilizing differentiated instructional techniques to meet the varying needs of the children in my class.
For the past nine years I have been privileged to teach an afternoon Explorer class at Miles E.L.C. and I am excited continue to teach the HI Explorer class.
If you ever have any questions or would like to get a hold of me, please feel free to call me at 225-2275 or email me at Cassandra.Melendez@tusd1.org.
