My Students

I am currently a learning support teacher at a public school in Philadelphia, PA. As a learning support teacher, I work with third grade students with varying special needs. Each of these students has an Individualized Education Program to help guide their instruction through differentiation, modifications, and accommodations in the classroom. Generally, the students on my caseload perform two to three grades below their grade level expectancy. Many of my students present difficulties with based phonics, decoding and comprehension. They also have difficulties in math including basic operation skills.

Computer based interventions are a great tool to help my students improve in both math and reading.

Interventions such as Think Through Math, Lexia, Academy of Math and more, are instructional, engaging and exciting for my students with learning needs. I currently have two Chromebooks, however an additional two would give me the opportunity to participate in a true blended learning program, providing more students with intervention time daily.

My Project

As a learning support teacher of students with special needs it is important to find different interventions to strengthen what is taught each day. Technology is growing within the classroom setting, offering a variety of opportunities for students. Chromebooks can be extremely useful, as computer based intervention programs are appealing to students while being educational. Chromebooks would allow me to teach a blended learning program, while working with one small group, another would engage in their computer based intervention.

Interventions that are useful for my students include Lexia, Think Through Math and Academy of Math.

The use of these programs will strengthen skills taught, introduce new skills and keep my students engaged daily!
