My Students

My students are CT special education students who have been placed at the districts alternative high school program. The students in my classroom are frequently waiting for placement at agencies outside of the public school system due to severe behavior issues. However, this wait can take years. Our area does not have enough placements. The students struggle with both behavioral and academic issues. They are working to earn their high school diplomas after being kicked out of other schools. Despite being the building with the students who need the most support, we are given the least amount of funding and very few resources. We will appreciate the donations!

My Project

My students have been placed at an Alternative High School after not being successful at other schools. This project will provide seating options to help students focus on class work. It offers them a choice which is key to their success. Students are more likely to work when given options for the exact spot they need to sit at while working. These seats also allow movement without distracting their classmates. Our students have shown they need a different approach. Traditional school has not been a positive experience for most of them.
