My Students

Our school is 100% Students with Special Needs with severe multiple disabilities. Our overarching goal for our students is to be as independent as possible. We hope to give our students the tools that are necessary for them to explore opportunities to grow that may have not been an option for them. We don't only teach our students how to grow but we learn and grow from them as well. My students will have the ability to take ownership of their future by learning how to communicate their wants and needs and be as independent as possible.

My Project

My students are a diverse group who are all unique in their own way and enrich each other's lives, family, and community. Transition is the focus of our school and we feel it is important to teach ADL and job skills. All of our students strive to be inclusive in the outside community. This project allows our students to learn job skills using Stem on how to care for turtles and their habitat and why it is important to learn these skills. Each diverse student can help each other learn and grow in their classroom community. They can later take these skills learned and apply them out in the community and be inclusive in everyday life. I want my students to be able to see themselves as individuals who are capable of achieving all goals at their level.
