My Students

I teach a self-contained special education class with students with intellectual disabilities including down syndrome and autism. My students are varied in their abilities. Every day is different. Every day we work hard and don't forget to laugh.

We are working hard to stimulate cognitive, language, reading and social skill development.

My students enjoy talking about themselves, reading, drawing, music, and technology. We are in the Port of Los Angeles and are proud to learn about our community's founding and history.

My Project

The best way to engage my learners is to consider their needs and empower them with a choice. Some of them need the option to stand while learning. My students also need to improve their posture, core strength, and stamina. A stand up desk helps meets these needs! This desk will also give me the ability to stand in front of the computer during distance learning. I too need to improve my posture and increase my stamina. A moving teacher can be much more engaging. Thanks so much in advance!
