Greetings Arizona Fleming Families!

Hello, I am Ranjini Baratan, one of your Resource teachers.  I come to AFE with 13 years of Special Education experience.  This is my second year teaching at AFE.  I have enjoyed working with the students, teachers, the amazing leadership team, and the positiive environment at Arizona Fleming.

Previously, I taught at the Deer Creek School District in Oklahona, as a PPCD teacher.  Prior to that, I taught at Special Care, an Early Childhood/Early Intervention program.  Perhaps, my blossoming as a teacher began there with it's unique inclusive classroom setting integrating children with special needs with their typical peers.  One of my passions is to teach students of all abilities.  I truly believe that I am fortunate to pusue a career that offers so much of joy and rewards.

I graduated with Honors from the University of Central Oklahoma with a Master of Education in Special Education. 

My husband and I share two beautiful daughters, one of whom is a college graduate and the other who is in her final year of college.  As a family, we enjoy art, music, and poetry; both as a talent as well as a passion.  As an artist, I am actively involved in the vibrant Houston artist community at The Sawyer Yards.

I am very excited to be part of the learning community and I look forward to my second year teaching at Arizona Fleming!
