My Project

Establishing a supportive classroom environment for students is an important component to consider when planning and implementing instruction. Research has consistently indicated that the way the classroom environment is arranged influences the learning of individuals with ASD (Hurth, Shaw, Izeman, Whaley, & Rogers, 1999).

Additionally, research has found that students in organized and structured classrooms demonstrate more on-task behavior and higher academic achievement (Heflin & Alberto.

2001). Whether students are served in general education settings, self-contained settings, or any combination of locations, an organized classroom is key.

Pocket folders, binder clips, pencils, correction tape, batteries (for games) and sticky notes will help keep my students organized, motivated and ready to learn.
