My Students

Too many obstacles get in our way! You can enable us to facilitate the learning process for all students with different backgrounds to grow and be successful in school. My students come from many different backgrounds. I have students with different levels, different socio-economic backgrounds, different cultures, different nationalities, and even different foreign languages. We are a true "American melting pot" of a school.

I see roughly 100 students on a daily basis for 2 different Math classes, 1 Literature class, and 2 Resource classes.

The kids range from 19 struggling learners with IEPs, to 7 ESL (English as a Second Language) learners, to proficient learners. We all have one come goal, and that is to learn new skills to be successful in the real world later in life.

Teaching to such a wide array of learners can be challenging, but having the tools necessary will allow us to achieve our learning goals.

My Project

My students have learning disabilities, and need extra supports in a resource classroom to enable them to be more successful in all their academic areas. They are constant meeting learning obstacles on a daily basis.

By providing these resources to my students, this levels the playing field to promote success and allows additional academic growth.

Research has shown that technology helps students stay more engaged and helps them retain more information. By providing access to technology for my students, this will allow for more growth and confidence within each of my students. In an ever changing world, we need to keep up with these changes and provide opportunities for all students.
