My Students

I teach in the most restricted environment in NYC for students with special needs. My students have severe disabilities requiring them to be in a restrictive environment. All of my students come from an economically disadvantaged background and receive free breakfast and lunch. The majority of my students do not have access to books on their levels. I think it is important for students to read at school and home, and to start building a home library.

Some of my students are still learning to read, write, and count.

They need access to materials that are on their instructional levels, but are also age appropriate.

My Project

One of the struggles as a teacher today is limitations on copies and toner we are provided by the school. The only reasonable way to get students the resources they need is to have a classroom printer. Since my class has unique needs, the amount of copies needed are vast.

A class printer will facilitate teaching students in a way that has their individual needs being met.

Help me give my students access to printed materials on the spot, without having to request photo copies in advance, as it is crucial to be able to print scaffolds and differentiated materials at a moment's notice!

In addition to learning disabilities, my students struggle with varying levels of emotional disabilities. I like to provide my students with a written copy of their goals so that they always know what they are working towards. It is necessary to laminate their weekly goals, so we need a laminator and pouches so goals do not get destroyed during the week. Once a goal is reached, my students move the goal from their desk to a chart in the room so they can see all they have achieved as the year goes on.
