My Project

Every student deserves the opportunity to succeed. Students should be able to learn about themselves, how to become effective communicators, and how to build resilience. While in school, resources should be available to them so they can learn how to become productive young adults after high school.

While at school and with these materials, flashcards, and games requested, my students will get the opportunity to improve their comprehension skills, as well as learn and practice self-advocacy, coping skills, interviewing skills, problem solving, building social and emotional maturity.

These question/scenario flashcards will also provide my students with opportunities to build their communication skills. Communication is a very important skill to have in order to get your wants and needs met and to have meaningful relationships.

I look forward to using these excellent resources with my amazing students. Thank you for your support!
