My Students
I teach in an severe and profound classroom, where for every three students, there needs to be one assistant in addition to a full time special education teacher, in a low income district. My students have multiple disabilities ranging from Down Syndrome, autism, intellectual disabilities to other health impaired.
Despite my students' perceived limitations, they are just a breath of fresh air!
They always trying to help one another and are always happy. Unlike other children their age, they don't try to create drama with one another. It is a joy to be their teacher!
My Project
My students do not have many opportunities at home that many of us assume that most students have at home. Many of my students come from homes living in poverty but also where their parents are low functioning and/or intellectually disabled as well. My students don't have access to toys or books or other educationally stimulating materials.
What my students experience and learn at school is often the only exposure that they have to education.
These materials and learning centers will allow my students to practice their communication skills, academic skills, and daily living skills. They will be able to practice categorizing and sorting objects.
While my students will never be able to live on their own, any tools that they can have to help themselves will benefit them not only in my class but in their futures.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
