My Students

How can we close the achievement gap when students do not have the necessary materials to succeed? A review of student grades and school-wide data indicate that students with disabilities are the lowest performing sub-group at our inner-city, low-income elementary school.

My classroom serves students with a range of disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit disorder, specific learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance.

They come to my classroom excited and ready to learn, but often they have trauma, anxiety, and tension in their lives that makes coming to school difficult. The typical student in my class reads at a first-grade level, and many struggle with basic phonics and number sense. One hundred percent of our students are African American or Latino and benefit from free lunch. The opportunity gap and achievement gap are apparent among our student population and the student populations of more affluent areas of our school district.

My Project

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind."

My school has adopted the practice of Peace Corners in each of the classrooms.

My RSP room has become the Peace Room due to the socio-emotional needs of our school population. I have students from kinder through 5th grade use my room as a time to reflect, relax and gain peace of mind. I love the Quiet Time Privacy Cube because it can give the student space to relax, read, or reflect if that's what they feel they need at that moment. It is just another way for me to support the needs of my students through trauma informed practice.
