My Project

Working with students in self-contained and early learning educational placements ensures that teachers and support staff are always thinking outside the box to help students meet their learning targets and give them alternative ways to show us their smarts.

My goals with this project are to accumulate some additional resources and tools (games and sensory items) to help them meet those milestones and continue progressing with their developmental expectations alongside their peers.

My students are hard-working, fun, and smart. They require a little extra love and support to gain skills and increase their engagement and interest in academic learning. Creating a highly engaging and modified task with these games will have a positive impact on their daily learning.
