We are an amazing group of students with exceptionalities. Our classroom is a site based program with student who are emotionally fragile, need visual supports and technology to access both academic success as well as social and emotional skills. Our district has been affected by economic cuts and currently have a freeze on spending.
Position:
Teacher
Needs:
Mobile keyboarding systems, Document Camera, Digital camera, student laptops
My Philosophy:
My classroom builds a sense of community for diverse students who have low self esteem due to many struggles in academic and personal skills. Finding ways to celebrate success and alternatives to typical teaching can help those students back into a mainstream education and give others a sense of pride.
