A Helping Hand

My students need seating arrangements that help them improve their posture, and ability to concentrate, as many of them have ADHD.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I teach 16-19-year-old young adults with a variety of intellectual, physical, and sensory impairments in our high school's Transition Program. My students are focusing their time in school on preparing for life after high school; that looks different for every student. We work with each student individually to help them communicate what their personal goals and visions for their futures are.

My students are looking forward to being as independent as possible after high school.

All of my students participate in internships and jobs around our school building and in the community as part of their education. We also practice interviewing skills, job applications, cooking, cleaning, money, time, and functional writing skills.

Most of my students are looking forward to moving out of their parents' home, working, and being involved in their community when they finish school. Others are looking to continue their education in a college or vocational/trade training program.

My Project

The materials listed in this project will help students produce classroom learning, and promote a supportive classroom culture, that unites the classroom, and raises the self-esteem of all students. For example, I will utilize the birthday chart to note each student's birthday, and the class will have a birthday box with goodies for each birthday person. Also, the basic classroom materials, like the timer, will maximize instructional time everyday of the school year. The stability balls will allow hyperactive and students taking physical therapy to recover their posture, and maintain ergonomic. Also, the class organization materials, like, the classroom mailbox, and the organization cart, will allow the teaching days to run smoothly and organized.
