My Students

I am a K-1 exceptional education teacher. My students are fantastic! They like school and want to learn. My students sometimes have difficulties with accessing the grade level content, staying on task, and engaging for long periods of time. My students need to be engaged during their learning in order to keep their attention.

My students are able to close some of their learning gaps when given extra time, engaging resources, and accommodations to grade level content.

My students often need more time to help them learn content and this grant will help provide them with an opportunity to use programs above and beyond the school day to enhance their skills. They also need engaging resources that allow them to learn in a fun and engaging manner.

The iPad in this grant will be able to provide this type of engagement and resources that are fun to for my students with disabilities to participate on. My students also need accommodations to grade level work through extra modeling, scaffolding assignments and modified classroom work. This will be a little bit tricky with virtual learning, but my students will benefit from having an iPad to model learning via programs virtually.

My Project

I teach K-1 students with disabilities. My students require engaging activities to help them close their learning gaps, hone their foundational skills, and make learning fun. My students are 5-7 years old and have small attention spans for the most part. During the virtual learning process, I would like to make learning more engaging and model educational programs and apps that will help my students with ways to bridge their gaps in learning. By modeling these programs and apps together, I will be able to instruct new content and explain how my students can extend the use of these programs when they are working independently or with their parents at home.

The use of the iPad, via programs and apps, will provide a fun way to instruct and engage my students when they are learning the knowledge, skills and abilities (such as: letter/sound relationship, identifying and counting numbers, etc) that will help close some of the learning gaps of their grade age peers that do not have learning disabilities.

Once in person learning resumes, students will be using the programs and apps via manipulation of the iPad during small group instruction and pull out lessons.
