The best special education teacher is one who truly has a heart to help her students grow in every area of their lives…academically, socially, emotionally, and personally. She sees beyond challenges and diagnoses, recognizing each child’s unique strengths, potential, and worth. She advocates fiercely for her students, collaborates with families and colleagues, and tailors instruction to meet individual needs with creativity and dedication. She teaches life skills alongside academics, nurturing independence, resilience, and self-esteem.

Ms. Bickers is truly a champion for special ed students. I have seen her teach both ppcd and fls students. She has taught and pushed students beyond their limitations to truly become independent learners despite their disabilities . Her classroom is always organized and inviting and structured in a manner that creates the best learning environment for her students. As a principal and as an Executive Director, I gauge other specialized classrooms based on hers. I have had her observe others and had them go observe her in order to grow teachers. She is truly the most effective special education teacher that I have seen in all of my twenty three years in education.

Christine has a heart like no other for students with the highest needs. She has intentionally devoted her career to continuous growth so that children have a better chance at success. With a master’s degree specializing in autism, she leverages her expertise to elevate educators across Dallas ISD, strengthening instructional practices and building capacity in special education. She has led professional development for both new and veteran teachers, served in advisory roles to enhance district special education programming, and authored curriculum for extracurricular and summer learning initiatives. For more than five years, Christine has served as a summer school program coordinator for her campuses, and for the past two years, she has facilitated district-wide trainings for all summer school coordinators—further demonstrating her leadership, knowledge, and influence. She consistently submits and earns DonorsChoose projects that expand learning opportunities for her students, reflecting both her creativity and her relentless advocacy. Ms. Bickers exemplifies excellence in teaching and, even more importantly, excellence in the field of special education. She represents what we should all aspire to—a better educator, a better colleague, and a better human committed to a better future. I am incredibly proud of Christine for rightfully earning this prestigious recognition. Awards aside, she has already won in the most meaningful category—the category of Champion for Students with Special Needs.

She’s very deserving of any award or recognition in the education field.

Arii Posted 8 months ago

We often talk about what teachers teach, but rarely do we capture the sheer force of care and dedication that you give every single day. Watching Mike come home this year, we haven't just seen academic growth; we have witnessed a blossoming of confidence and a genuine love for learning that is entirely your making. You didn't just meet them where they were—you saw the beautiful, complex people they are capable of becoming. The patience you showed during the challenging moments, the way you celebrated every small victory, and the environment of kindness you cultivated has shaped their character in ways that will last far beyond this school year. Please know that your work is not just a job; it is a vocation that touches hearts and changes trajectories. Thank you for investing your mind, your energy, and your spirit into our family. We are truly fortunate to have had you guide them. With heartfelt gratitude and deep respect,

Itzel Posted 8 months ago
