Every day in my school is an adventure. My students are full of life and have taught me that growth of any kind is good. We always cherish even the small victories because we all learn differently.
"Fair means everyone gets what they need, not everyone gets the same!" Working in special education this is especially true.
My students have struggled with learning in the traditional school setting. As a result of their disabilities, anxiety, or emotions, learning is an intense process.
My Project
This project will allow students to work on the computer for both academic and leisure activities independently in all classes. Headphones and a wireless mouse will give students the opportunity to focus on their Work as they progress through project based learning.
A great portion of the work our students complete is done using chrome books and other forms of technology.
Many students have asked for a wireless mouse to use with their chrome books because they are not as savvy with the touchpad of the Chromebook. Access to headphones and calculators also provide students the tools that they deem important when attempting academic tasks.
