Help me give my students a chance to use technology to help them concentrate with noise cancellation headphones. As well as to to express their writing abilities through electric components.
My goal is to attest that every child, whether they are regular education or special education, has the ability to learn. It is up to the educator to find the best way for the child to learn and it is most important that teachers have the resources for them to aid their students learning.
All children are unique and learn in many different ways.
Our school's mission is to create a nurturing environment which fosters academic and social achievement for all our students. We acknowledge the uniqueness of every child within our school community by encouraging for self-respect and respect for all. Our school infuses technology and the arts in engaging students in their learning. Excellence is our aim as we strive toward developing well-rounded, lifelong learners.
I have been a classroom teacher for 15 years. This year I have the honor of teaching six children with special needs such as autism, speech impairment, and learning disabilities.
My Project
Empowering students by using technology to achieve their goals in order to meet their individual education plans. This project will reach six students in a Title I school in Long Island City.
The noise cancellation will give one student a chance to cancel out the noise and be able to listen to stay focused and on task.
The dragon naturally speaking software will assist my students who have to express and write down their ideas without getting frustrated and feeling upset. With the assistive technology we will receive we can make the outmost progress to meet our educational needs and success.
Half of students from low‑income households
