Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
The school I work in is a specialized district complex that serves students with special education needs coupled with high behaviors. Most of our students have autism, although we do have students that have other disabilities. Our student population is small due to the nature of our work. We are constantly working on building and developing important life skills for our students.
Our students have the ability to show their true skills and abilities with the proper supports and encouragement in place.
Our main approach with our students is to teach important life skills, while still exposing them to appropriate level academics. To do this, we rely on some technology but mainly manipulatives and books that our students can easily work with using their fine motor skills. This also requires us to get very creative and spend a lot of time prepping materials for our students.
Each of our students has amazing possibilities in front of them. My goal is to provide each student every opportunity I can so that they can live a fulfilling life as independently as possible.
My Project
My students rely on and succeed with repetition and work that can be fun and exciting. Being able to purchase teacher developed material on Teachers Pay Teachers allows me to find material that is more specific to my students and themes that are more relatable for my students. Other materials from Teachers Pay Teachers include folder work and task boxes that I can assemble for my students.
This type of work is used as go to materials, vocational skill development, and having the students work on critical thinking skills while working on fine motor skills.
My students love having go to materials especially when they need to take a break from other academic tasks.
