My Students
I teach students in the 8th to 12th grade with a range of cognitive, physical, and emotional disabilities in the junior high and high school self-contained classroom. With the help of the high school counselor and my paraprofessionals, we strive to teach our students functional and life skills that will transition over to their own personal life and work after high school.
It takes a collaborative approach to meet all of the needs of each student in my class.
Several of my students want to play football on the professional level when they grow up, so we work closely with the football staff to find jobs that are meaningful and helpful to all in order not to crush their dreams.
All of my students participate in various activities and subjects but learn best by hands-on experiences. They love creating new ideas, products, and trying out experiments we normally find on the internet. They also love interacting with their peers and being included in school wide activities or events.
My Project
Who doesn't love toys? It doesn't matter how old or young you are that there is some kind of toy that brings back great memories! Toys are an easy way to help teach financial literacy and entrepreneurship for my students because they are so engrossed in the subject matter.
The students I teach love playing with toys and technology in their spare time, so I am going to build upon that love of toys with books to support and increase their knowledge of financial literacy and entrepreneurship in the classroom!
