My Project

As a teacher in our school's Career, Community, and Connections programming, I will be supporting our young men and women with disabilities in both the school, community, and work settings. In the classroom, we will learn various skills such as independent living, vocational, computer, and employability. In the community, we will put those theories into practice.

My students will be interning at the Museum of Science and Industry, accessing the employment environment via public transportation.

I have a classroom of 13 students who I will be instructing throughout the school year. As you can imagine, we are a classroom family and I yearn to see them all succeed. A major component of that success will be attributed to ensuring that each and everyone is prepared for the winter weather in Chicago. While I have identified a need for some students to own their winter gear, I have also had a few students who will advocate for their own needs. The requested thermal sets, gloves, hats, scarves, and socks will be available for all students if they do not own a set, or lost, or forgotten item(s) at home. Please consider funding and/or sharing our project to help make our dreams a reality this winter.
