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

Our Extraordinary Wildcats are a vibrant bunch that look forward to learning through fun activities. We take great pride in providing a stimulating educational environment for our students with intellectual disabilities (IND). While they are self-contained for academic courses, they experience typical high school electives and activities.

It is our goal, however, to bring more technology into their academic studies in order to better prepare them for possible vocational careers in the community.

They are captivated by computers and the visual/audio stimulation from technology. This group of students is just as eager as everyone else to learn about technology and innovation in the real world. Join us in our journey to help our Extraordinary Wildcats become tech-savvy.

My Project

It is my belief that all students with or without a disability deserve equal access to a learning environment that fosters opportunities for them to grow academically and socially. I strive to provide a classroom environment that embraces high expectations and promotes high self-esteem for all students. I feel that when we, as educational professionals, assume the best about our students and ourselves, teaching changes and positive results happen. Students begin to believe in themselves and feel they can meet the high expectations that presented to them.

The Chromebooks will help teach the students about search engines and to research various topics, help them find educational websites and games to enhance their learning.

They will also learn how to search for vocational institutions and connect with local community organizations that can provide resources and experiences.
