My Students

My goal, as a teacher, is to provide the best learning environment for my students. My school is very supportive in all that I do, but does not have the funds to get new supplies for the students. These students, who come from a high-poverty area, come to school to learn new things and have experiences that they might not be able to at home.

I work with 4th and 5th grade students with emotional disabilities.

I am so fortunate to have such a great group of students. Although my students face their own challenges everyday, they never fail to try their best in any situation.

My Project

My students are children that have emotional disabilities. These disabilities affect all areas in school: academically, socially, and behaviorally. Creating individualized behavior goals for each student helps the student grow in all of these areas.

Managing a class with twelve different emotionally disturbed students can be an incredibly difficult task.

In order to run a successful classroom, my paraprofessionals and myself have individualized behavior goals for each student. My students work so hard to reach these goals and need a variety of prizes to reward them and to keep them motivated to succeed.

By having new prizes and incentives that can be earned, my students will be so excited and these will help them keep on track to keep doing the right thing.
