Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

This is a special education program to work on vocational skills. I teach 5 classes; Basic Skills Math, Real World Math, Personal Management/Science and Work Readiness. Students have an on campus café job, keep a daily check register, and practice purchases at our incentive store.

Our students have various disabilities that limit them from receiving a general education diploma.

This program is designed to allow students to learn life skills so they can be successful after finishing high school or go onto a transition program until age 22. My students are 9th-12th graders with a range of moderate and severe disabilities; Autism, specific learning disabilities, emotional and behavior disabilities, and vision and hearing impairments to name a few. Many come from difficult home lives and we are trying to encourage and support a pathway to success. Many have skills that are far below their grade level and feel insecure about school.

My Project

Our classroom calculators have started to die and everyone needs to share, which takes up valuable teaching time. The ATM game will help students learn valuable lessons about banking skills. The Real World Problem Kit has activities and problems that relate to possible encounters the students will face in the real world, letting them practice their math skills in a real setting.

My students learning styles do not always match traditional paper and pen lessons and prefer lessons when they get to work with their hands.

These activities allow them to still learn important real life lessons and academic skills in different learning modes for them. Being able to generalize skills to the real world help to make lessons meaningful and practical for all students.
