My Students

My students have intellectual disabilities severe enough to warrant them to be in a self-contained class, but they work harder than any population of students I've ever worked with. This is true despite coming from high-poverty areas and crazy family stories, sometimes even being in the foster care system.

As a self-contained class, my students' needs are intensive, so my main focus is to provide a variety of materials through which they can interact with the curriculum.

It's fun to get creative and create an individualized learning experience which keeps kids loving school!

3rd and 4th grade is when kids stop getting excited about school and start realizing they are different from the rest, so the more I am able to keep that spark going, the higher my kiddos soar!

My Project

Chromebooks are an affordable way to provide students with access to apps, websites and other educational opportunities.

The school closures resulting from COVID-19 have shown us how powerful teaching on virtual platforms can be, and how many of our students lack equitable technology access.

I've been spending a lot of time learning how to use things like Google Classrooms, Teachtown and slides in order to differentiate instruction and maximize interactive practice, while being able to get more one-on-one time with students. This is all while the rest of the class is still learning.
