I teach in a Collaborative Team Teaching fourth grade class - two teachers (a general education teacher and a special education teacher) and a class that is comprised of about half "general ed" students and half students with learning disabilities. Teaching in this classroom environment is incredibly rewarding, but can also be a challenge. For every lesson I teach, I must find materials that will both challenge my highest achievers and support struggling learners. I use lots of visual aids, group work, and creative strategies (like songs, art projects, and multimedia presentations ) to support all my students. Furthermore, my students come from low-income families and often lack the background knowledge needed to understand new stories, start science projects, or grasp historical time periods. I absolutely love my job, and, even on challenging days, I know I'm making a difference - with your help, of course!
