My Project

I teach a self contained classroom of 10 students with disabilities. There are times where behaviors and/noises can be distracting causing disruption in instruction.

These mobile partition will be used to give a student privacy and honoring their dignity when managing difficult emotions and minimizing the distractions to others learning.

They will also be used to limit visual distractions during whole group learning or block off areas of the classroom that may not be available at the time.

Help me maximize our instructional time together and reach their full potential!
