My Students
My students are a great group of kids. They are 9th graders and many have autism and other developmental disabilities or special learning needs. They need more than a teacher who tells them what to do; they need an adult who will listen to them and work with them on their individual needs.
In the words of Temple Grandin, "Kids have to be exposed to different things to develop.
A child’s not going to find out he likes to play a musical instrument if you never exposed him to it."
My classroom assistant and I create a positive and interactive learning environment where our kids know that they are welcome, loved, appreciated, are safe, and can succeed.
My Project
This year we are required to wear masks in school. This will help ensure my students have masks to follow this mandate.
The purchase of these masks will enable my students to have access to clean masks when they arrive, sneeze, cough, or just need a fresh one during the day.
Most students are good about wearing a mask upon arrival, although sometimes they forget. Also, as we know, things can happen to a mask that causes it to need to be replaced. I want to be able to provide comfort and healthy options for my students.
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
