Help me give my students a brand new set of portfolio binders, a new researcher set to investigate articles, historical classroom decor, and inexpensive tech for sensory overloaded students. Thank you for your generosity!
The one hundred-plus Philadelphia public high school students I am fortunate enough to teach are an inquisitive, compassionate, and creative group of young people. Despite my school's Title I status and my students' significant challenges posed by their varied and pervasive academic and social-emotional disabilities, my kids come to class each and every day always excited to learn and try something new.
All of my students' innate abilities and consistent willingness to demonstrate perseverance each and every day in their studies leaves me in awe of their dedication to better themselves at all times.
My students truly live according to the motto of "no excuses equals success."
As children of the twenty-first century, technology comes second nature to my students as well. My kids most appreciate learning through games - be it digital or traditional cardboard - and absolutely love interacting with the world.
My Project
The use of portfolios coupled with colorful highlighters and post-it notes, timers, and quieting headphones help students identify and critically analyze key elements of historical documents and current news articles in a highly organized yet artistic way. Noise cancellation headphones, timers to help the kids stay on task, and some added historical classroom decor will not only take their varied and serious academic and social-emotional needs into account but allow them to feel fully comfortable in a subject that can be overwhelming for the most studious of us due to my kids' sensory overload of information and graphic design. My cart aims to create a social studies environment with special education thought at its heart. I hope you will find it in yours to support my wonderful class of kids.
