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
The motto at our school is “Supporting Student Strengths with Passion, Purpose, and Professionalism”. Many of the students I work with come from limited resources and have behavioral, medical, and academic needs. Some of the students live in group/foster homes and it can be a challenge to find motivating activities that will engage them. In addition, many students enjoy hands-on learning materials that they can manipulate.
Students at this school access their curriculum in unique ways (VOD access, picture icons, gestures, AAC technology, vocalizations, verbalizations, communication core boards, and other functional methods of communication).
It's important I stay current on evidence-based practices, so I can better serve the needs of my students. Thank you for supporting my professional development!
My Project
Help me learn new speech techniques with an amazing professional development course and get organized with storage cubes. These cubes will be filled with the colorful markers, the speech circle, and manipulates from the resources provided in the professional development course.
I am always looking for ways to grow professionally, so I can better assist my students in their speech and language development.
With the professional development training provided by the Speech Retreat, I will be ready to introduce new and exciting speech techniques after spring break. Thank you for supporting my professional development and project, so I can better serve my students and their unique needs with fun and engaging materials!
