All teachers are special. Special education teachers have extra special needs for their students. My students aren't conventional learners. I teach a variety of students with a variety of different learning disabilities. Some verbal, some non-verbal, but not being able to speak is not the same as not having anything to say! It is important to understand each individual and how differently each learns. I create personalized lesson plans assessing the needs of each individual so each student can thrive and reach their maximum growth potential.
My Project
These materials will allow for my students who have sensory needs the opportunity to learn and explore different academic areas with various sensory experiences. My students have Autism and I tailor my lessons to reach each and every student’s individualized educational plan. These various materials will help me motivate and guide my students by each of their individual interests. The book bins will he me to organize my classroom library by various levels. The sensory beads will be used in my sensory table to explore literacy, science, and mathematics in a fun,motivating, way! My goal is to reach and teach my students to the way they learn!
