My Students

Somewhere deep in the heart of the Midwest lies our city. It is the quintessential rural town that has always been described in books, television, and movies since the beginning of time. Families have lived here for generations and take pride in everything that the small town has to offer. The townspeople come out in force at the annual Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast, as well as the Strawberry Festival. They crowd the stands to see their hometown team play ball and line the streets during the annual homecoming parade. It is, indeed, a tiny piece of Midwestern paradise.

Our high school special education classroom is a place of growth in academics, personality, and citizenship.

We celebrate each other's successes while learning from each other's mistakes; in short, we try our best and come together as one team with the common goal of becoming productive citizens in a global society.

My students don't let their disabilities define who they are or what they are capable of; instead, they embrace them and the challenges they pose without fear.

My Project

As a part of the transition process, special education students need to learn about a variety of topics that deal with living a successful, independent life. It can be incredibly difficult to find materials that will work for my students but are also school-appropriate. A great author for them to learn from is the award-winning author, Sean Covey.

Imagine you had a road map, a step-by-step guide to help you get from where you are now, to where you want to be in the future.

Your goals, your dreams, your plans…they are all within reach. You just need the tools to help you get there. That’s what Sean Covey’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, is: A handbook to self-esteem and success. Updated for the digital age, this book applies the timeless principles of the 7 Habits to the tough issues and life-changing decisions teenagers face. This book will help my students learn about how to improve their self-image, build friendships, resist peer pressure, achieve their goals, and get along with their parents, as well as tackle the new challenges of our time, like cyberbullying and social media. By learning about the 7 Habits, students will have an opportunity to discover not only themselves, but how to be independent and free from others.
