My Students
I am a Bilingual Special Education Inclusion Teacher at an urban school where 96.5% of the population is Low SES and 36.5% of the population is ELL, and 12.8% are SPED. I have an opportunity to create a positive impact on the future leaders of America. Within this population, my focus is on a small group of SPED and ELL students.
I work with a diverse group of low-income students who have varying development disorders and learning disabilities.
All of my students suffer from low phonemic and phonological awareness. From the great words of Brad Schneider, "I want to make sure every child has the opportunity for quality education." With your help, I can ensure that my diverse learners will have the same opportunity to be as successful as non at-risk students.
My Project
It is important to provide our youth and the leaders of tomorrow with the necessary resources to be successful. My job is to provide students with documented disabilities instructional support in a mainstream setting, small-group, or one-on-one. Within my DonorsChoose request, I have selected a variety of research-based phonics resources that will promote phonological and phonemic awareness to multiple learning styles. I have also included flexible seating to foster a learning environment that is less restrictive than traditional classroom seating.
With a wide range of developmental disorders, social disorders, and English-language acquisition, these resources will grant a group of at-risk students more opportunities to increase their phonological and phonemic awareness in a way that is beneficial to them based on their Individualized Education Program (IEP).
DonorsChoose is the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
As a teacher-founded nonprofit, we're trusted by thousands of teachers and supporters across the country. This classroom request for funding was created by Mr. Mims and reviewed by the DonorsChoose team.
