My Students

I am currently a paraprofessional educator going into the teaching world next school year. I am very excited for this new journey. With that said, I want to be prepared for when I have my own classroom. I will be teaching Special Education: Mild to Moderate. One thing I have learned through my experience as a paraprofessional is that one size does not fit all. Each student is unique in their own way. In order to meet every child's need, it is imperative to differentiate their instruction. Every student deserves the best education and it is my job as an educator to provide that.

My Project

As a paraprofessional stepping into the teacher world, I want to provide materials students will need to help them have a succeed in learning. Having a visual timer in class is essential because it lets students, who are visual learners, know how much time they have to complete an assignment. This can help with time management and it helps make transitions go more smoothly. In addition, having a label maker can benefit the class because it can create a print-rich environment and help students locate materials when needed. Because I will be teaching students who have mild to moderate disabilities, I want to make sure I have all the right materials to give them the best education possible.
