I teach a group of 8th grade inclusion special education students. Half of the class is special education and the other half is behavior management. In summary, this class provides many students with a second chance at an education. My students have prior disciplinary problems, thus severely impacting their achievement. Despite being labeled as a special education classroom, my students have the highest benchmark scores in the entire school. The school is one of the lowest-performing and resourced schools in the state, yet the students all work terribly hard for success. I am so very proud of each and every one of my wonderful students.
