My Students

Our Therapeutic Education program consists of 18 students, who all come with significant mental health needs. Everyday is a challenge for our students to get up and come to school. Our job as their teacher is to provide the therapeutic support our students need to learn the skills to be successful in the "real world" after high school!

We do our best to create the "family" atmosphere in our program that our students do not necessarily have at home.

Most of our students not only struggle with emotional needs, but they have educational needs as well. Differentiation is the key to help our students become successful in their education.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, they can choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in different locations in our room such as at different tables or on the ground. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.

With new technology in our classroom, we can utilize the tablets to explore a variety of educational websites. We will be able to allow behavioral reward time into their daily schedules.
