My Students

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." -Albert Einstein

In an ICT classroom, students with disabilities learn alongside general education students.

An effective ICT classroom uses several different co-teaching approaches such as parallel and station teaching. Both approaches allow teachers to work with smaller groups to better meet each student’s individual needs. In my classroom, students are moving around interacting with each other in groups at different learning centers. Two drawbacks of using these approaches are that there must be enough flexible space in the classroom to accommodate both groups and materials must be prepared and organized in advance. Although we are placed in a spacious classroom with two meeting carpets, we do not have all storage needed to keep our classroom efficiently organized.

My Project

A well-organized classroom allows students to thrive. My students have different notebooks, folders, and materials for different subjects. I am requesting all-purpose organizers, plastic parts storage cabinets, classroom supply caddies and mesh desk organizer magazine rack to organize classroom materials. When it comes to transitioning from one area of the classroom, my students are expected to return used materials and take out the materials need for the next subject. Storing the materials can be hard if everything does not have a designated area.

The donations to this project will teach and instill organizational skills for my students so that they become effective students in school and in life.

It will make storing materials and transitioning a smooth process. Faster transitions will also give us more instruction time. It will most definitely improve my classroom because materials such as these will help my students to keep their space organized and safe!
