My Students

The school I work for is a special needs school; all students have some kind of physical or educational disability. Our school has over four hundred students in seven different locations. The location I work at is housed in a general education high school, which has over three thousand students. We just received a new gym space and all the equipment will be very helpful to start up an active class for my students. I have sixty students that I teach adapted physical education to, and it's all done in the new gym room.

The students love to participate in A.P.E.

My Project

By getting a new computer it will help develop my teaching skills and help turn key information to my colleges.

Professional Development is so important to teacher's.

Teachers should grow everyday. Learning something new should be a goal in every teachers mind. A great teacher learns and shares great idea's with their students and their colleges. I plan on using this computer to help with my knowledge of bringing Adapted Physical Education and Technology together to improve the culture of my gym class. There are many websites I can learn from and use in my class. Your donation will go a long way in helping many students get the best education they can.
