We are working with our Life Skills Special Education Students to learn values of hard work, communication, and job skills to be successful in life. Last year we received approval on our campus to run a drink delivery program for teachers and staff. Our kids start off learning how to deliver the drinks to the various classrooms. They must also learn how to communicate with the teachers they may not be familiar with. They also learn how to handle money. Eventually our students learn how to make the drinks. Most of our kids don’t get the opportunity to do any of our practicum classes that are offered in our school. This program allows them to have their own sort of practicum. All the money we receive from the drinks we in turn use to buy supplies for the café, classroom, and even supports field trips. We know not all of our students can always afford the cost of some of our field trips. So this helps provide lunch for the whole group without them having to spend any money. We want them to have the same opportunities as the rest of the students in the school.
My Project
High School Life Skills Special Ed Students need to learn values of hard work, proper communication, knowledge, and job skills that can help them to be successful in life beyond high school. Last year we received approval to run a coffee/drink shop delivery service for teachers and admins, and this year we are being allowed to continue the project. We will be teaching the students how to stock our items, how to keep up with our inventory, they will be taught how to make various coffee drinks, teas, flavored frozen lemonades, and hot chocolates. They will also be taught how to properly fulfill orders in a timely manner, appropriate customer service, how to safely deliver our items and how to accept money, give change, and turn in the money we receive. We will be using all income to keep our little shop going and any surplus will go towards needed supplies or field trips. Our kids have not been able to have any real world applicable job skills training before. This will teach them fundamental skills that can help them for the rest of their lives.
