My Project
Reinforcers significantly impact learning by strengthening the likelihood of behaviors occurring again. In a Special Education setting, we are all about promoting positive behavior and we want to promote a nurturing learning environment , in order to do so our students must find value in learning and be appropriately rewarded for desired behavior.
We strive to give students a voice and a choice, therefore having a variety of items available foster curiosity and exploration.
Supplying students with STEM based explorative "toys" will provide an opportunity to develop problem solving, and critical thinking skills. Supplying students with fine motor manipulative appear as play but assist students with precise movements, hand eye coordination and dexterity. Never ending building boxes, allow for students to use their creativity and imagination to build, promoting spatial reasoning and problem solving skills.
Half of 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
