Aidan Morgan

I consider myself a very calm, patient and non-judgemental person with fantastic listening skills. I have 24 years of experience teaching in Ct and feel passionate about working in the educational system. I taught primarily in urban schools with a focus on lower socio-economic groups of children. I retired two years ago but have now developed a new energy for the modern classroom and really cannot wait to return. I'm enthusiastic and am willing to receive any necessary training needed.
