My Students

Most of my students are currently non ambulatory as a result of illness or injury. They are attending school in an acute rehabilitation hospital. The students are often distracted from learning because of pain, medication, sadness and anger. The children in my class are from New York and the surrounding areas. We also accept and treat children from other States and from out of this county.

My students 4 to 21 years of age are currently hospitalized for an extended period for intensive rehabilitation.

They receive medical, speech, psychological, occupational, physical and educational intervention daily while in the hospital. It is the goal to reunite students with their friends, families and home district school classmates. My kids have suffered brain injury, physical delays, cognitive and social delays as a result of accidents and illness. Students have a wide range of challenges which are a result of amputations, stroke, cancer, surgeries and other complicated life circumstances. I work for NYC DOE Hospital Schools which supports teachers in 38 NYC Hospitals. My students are warriors; they fight the fight every day pushing past the pain.

My Project

By organizing the students from the start of their school experience they can become better learners. Organization of notes, reflections and classroom tools is a key component in determining classroom success. Students never come to the hospital thinking that they will be continuing their education with a hospital teacher. Parents are often so overwhelmed that school is the last thing on their mind. To be able to give each student a fresh new set of notebooks, pens, pencils, a tote bag and index cards allows them a new start at becoming successful.

"Failure to prepare is preparing to fail" Lets prepare for Success.

Upon entering an acute rehabilitation students will be introduced to their teacher and they will be given a choice of color coordinated supplies of their choice, this will begin a positive connection between teacher and student.
