My Project

Working with diverse learners who come from different backgrounds and are of different ages has made it challenging to have enough resources to meet the needs of all my students. As a special education teacher, I want to enhance my resources in academics while addressing social and emotional deficits. I would love to have a calming corner with specific sensory toys and resources to help some of my students who struggle to regulate their emotions. Updating academic games and resources is something I need more support for because I’ve been working with Kindergarten-5th grade and each grade has its own set of needs and curriculum.
