Closing The Gap: Technology For Equal Access to Education
My students need iPad tablets to help them communicate and achieve academically. They are visual and tactile learners and would benefit from education programs that will supplement my lessons on a daily basis.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tran's classroom raised $2,424

My Students
My students walk into our classroom everyday with an "I can" attitude. It isn't always easy for them to remember to keep believing they can because the world tells them they can't due to their disabilities. It is my goal to help them gain the tools they need so that when they walk out of my classroom, they are confident in themselves and the world around them.
I work in a special needs school, for children with moderate-to-severe, or multiple disabilities, many of whom come from bilingual homes and all of whom receive free breakfast and lunch.
Our school serves K - 12 and provides our special needs students with tools to become as independent as possible, as well as strategies to achieve in academic, social, and professional settings in their future.
My Project
Many of my students have academic and communication needs that can be addressed with proper technology in the classroom. All of my students are bright individuals who have so much potential to become even brighter individuals. However, they do not have access to ways to communicate or to learn in ways that work for them. This year, my goal is to promote the expansion of their language, as well as grow their communication skills in academic settings.
These tablets will be used as communication devices for my students with communication needs as well as learning tools for the whole class.
With these tablets, my students will finally be able to achieve at their full potential and our classroom community will be able to grow together.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
