My Project

I am a special education teacher in a specialized district that serves students with a wide range of disabilities. My district is a low-income, in Brooklyn, New York. My students all require special education assistance for a variety of reasons.

This project is to request a color laser printer and color ink cartridges.

A printer in the classroom is useful for printing student individual worksheets, supplementary copies of student work, and visual aids.

Our printer is an essential tool in our classroom, and having a printer and cartridges is required. Having an extra ink set helps students to continue using their individual accommodations.

My learners prefer to print their homework in color. A color laser printer in the classroom helps learners to be creative when completing their class worksheets and homework. This project will ensure that they have access to a color printer.
