Trinity Magazine: Fall 2006

Adam Lane-Basler '04

Adam Lane-Basler graduated from Trinity in 2004 with an MAT with a specialization in special education. He was inspired to teach by his parents, both of whom are teachers. Lane-Basler is now a special education teacher at the California Department of Developmental Services, working with blind adults in Sonoma County, California.

When asked how Trinity prepared him for his current position, which he has held for nine months, he notes, �In my current position as a teacher at the Sonoma Developmental Center, I use key ideas from most of my classes almost everyday. The practical knowledge of learning how to work with other adults was probably the most valuable concept.�

Lane-Basler credits Dr. Lawrence Riccio in teaching him how to, �help me stay professional, confident and competent during many conversations in a stressful day,� and he advises students currently in the education program, �to challenge yourself to do something new everyday.�
