Doxa Praise Diaz
EAL Teacher & Year 7 Homeroom Email:doxa.praisediaz@misy.edu.mmAbout Me
A dedicated Special Education Needs teacher with 10 academic years of experience, specialising in supporting students with diverse learning needs. Currently focused on addressing the language development needs of students in MISY Mandalay. I work closely with learners to help them overcome communication barriers and achieve their academic goals. My classroom approach has always been student-centered, inclusive, and grounded in evidence-based practices.
Area of special interest
Passionate about mentoring and guiding students to find their voice, I empower young minds to become confident, authentic public speakers. A firm believer in hope and possibilities. I love slow mornings, find peace in the mountains, and never say no to a good cup of coffee.
