I am lucky to work as the Special Education Director at an amazing school in Utah. My students are hard working, unique, and inspire me to be a better educator and person. At our school we have a high number of students with Special Education Needs. The students develop their educational skills in traditional and non-traditional ways and our school encourages students to learn in ways that is best for their unique brain. It is this type of individualized education that makes my school an amazing setting for those with special learning needs.
The last two years have impacted the way my students learn, prior to Covid-19 they thrived in a setting that valued connection, unique learning styles, and a hands on approach for them to be successful.
Learning online was not optimal. It was especially hard to watch students who were making great progress fall behind not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. My students love having a team of support with them and are looking forward to the day when Covid-19 won't disrupt their learning environment.
My Project
My students are amazing! Even with their unique learning challenges they inspire me to be better each day. One of the challenges we have is keeping the Special Education students organized as they move from elementary, middle school, and high school.
My students deserve the best, and having supplies that will stand the test of time is what they need!
This is where my Donors Choose list comes into play, by having the supplies that are not handed down after years of wear and tear will help keep my students progress, work and accomplishments in one organized place. There are enough supplies in the list to have a binder for each student to hold all their learning needs, mark them clearly with a label maker, keep track of how long they have been working on a particular goal, and show progress from year to year as they move through our K-12 school.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
