My Project

Communication is an essential skill for students to be successful in school. My students are struggling to communicate effectively in their daily school day. Decreased communication skills negatively impact students socially and emotionally. Many of my students want to have friends and want to participate in class, but struggle to use their expressive language. The materials I requested would address increasing language skills such as giving directions, expressing descriptions, and strengthening social communication skills. Improving communication skills will benefit both students and teachers with my goal being clear communication in the classroom setting. Where there are successful kids there are happy teachers.
