My Students

My students are a community of learners who are taught to support one another from day one. Each student has areas in which he or she shines and uses those abilities to guide their classmates through peer support. Within my classroom, 40% of the students have IEPs and are provided with related services and a Special Ed placement. The other 60% are a general education population.

What makes my classroom unique is that an outsider would never be able to differentiate which students are the Special Ed students.

All students participate in classroom activities and classroom discussions. My co-teacher and I work with students in small groups whether it is to extend their thinking or to provide support.

My Project

My students benefit greatly from small group instruction that is presented in a fun and hands-on way. Through motivational games and positive reinforcement, I can successfully tap into the potential of each of my students. Often, when my students are so engaged in a learning activity, they even forget altogether that they are learning. Each student has their own learning style. It is up to us as educators to discover what works best for each student. Having the right tools at my fingertips will make a world of a difference!
