My Project

When working in a special education classroom, especially in a small inclusion 12 to one setting, there is always a never-ending challenge to differentiate to reach all your students greatest potential. In my second year of teaching in this type of setting, I have learned in order to achieve greatness you need to have your students feel the most comfortable and be happy in their own surroundings, giving them everything that I can possibly give will only help them achieve their goals and be the best students they can be.
