Hang in There!

Help me give my students an organized progress monitoring wall. This wall will be used to hang up their special jobs in a visual display which will help them complete their work.

My Project

Progress monitoring is vital in Special Education. As a Learning Support teacher with approximately 25 students on my caseload, I need to stay organized to make sure progress monitoring is done in a timely manner.

Hanging progress monitoring on a wall via Command Hooks and clipboards will allow students' progress monitoring to be up and ready to be completed.

The magnetic hooks will also be used around the classroom to hang any work that needs to be finished that is not related to progress monitoring. Students come into my room for test support. They sometimes require extended time. Hanging the task that still needs to be completed will give a visual reminder to the student that they still have a responsibility and task to complete.

Thank you for considering our classroom. We appreciate you taking the time to read about our project.
