My name is Adriana Rivas, I go by Ms. Rivas or just Rivas. This will be my 5th year teaching Special Education! It's all I've ever taught. I enjoy working with students of all ages and academic backgrounds. I earned a Bachelor Degree in Political Science with a Minor in Sociology at University of Houston Main. I earned a Master Degree in Special Education last year! I am certified to teach EC-6. I enjoy creating a safe space for my students, making it easier to learn hard things. I encourage them to try even if they may not get it right the first time. We are all human, and we are all still learning! I look forward to another year at Madden!
