Switching to SPED

My Project

After three years of teaching general education, I am excited to transition into a special education role where I can more deeply support diverse learners. As I begin this new chapter, I’m seeking essential supplies like binders, glue sticks and magna tiles to create a classroom environment that meets a wide range of learning needs. My goal is to provide students with differentiated tools and materials that promote engagement, independence, and confidence. From sensory supports to hands-on learning resources, your donation will help build a space where every student has what they need to succeed. Thank you for helping me make this classroom a supportive and inclusive place for all learners!
