Teacher Professional Development: I need to attend a class on differentiating for special education students in the general music classroom. <profdevpilot>
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
A typical day in my classroom involves staying on my toes and constantly adapting to changing environments. My students have a wide variety of needs that I must meet.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Music Education and a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education with Special Education endorsement.
I teach Kindergarten through fifth grade general music and have an after school choir and music club in the district where I have taught for the past 7 years. I also taught music in another district for one year and private preschool for five years.
My Project
I am requesting tuition for a course in teaching students with special needs in a music classroom. This class will help me to combine the knowledge I have gained from both of my degree programs and use it to help the many students with disabilities that I teach. As a general music teacher, I teach all students in the school. I have many students with physical disabilities in my classes as well as students with Autism and other learning disabilities. My classes include students of all different ability levels and I believe this class will give me knowledge and skills to help meet all of their needs.
Your donation will help me to take a course that is essential to my continuing certification as well as improve my ability to provide for the needs of my many students with special needs.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
