My Students

My students want to learn, they crave the world at their fingertips. They need and want to be able to see pictures and read stories up close.

My Students are a part of the NYSAA (New York State Alternate Assessment) program known as ACES.

These amazing students are a low function population amongst the larger special education population. Many of my students, though in High School cannot read beyond a 1st grade level. As a Social Studies and Reading teacher, it is my job to bring them a traditional high school curriculum in a way that they can understand. It is a challenge to keep them interested in a topic for long periods of time, so many of our topics are extended over many weeks. They are a part of a work study program as well. They gain both life skills and academics in one place. This helps them to gain a better sense of life after they leave our program. They have the opportunity to stay in this program until they are 21, meaning many of my students will be with me for 8 years. This also causes a challenge because granted many of them do not retain info for that long, I must recreate the curriculum each year.

My Project

My students do a lot of project based assignments. It is very difficult for them to be able to gather information for research without the use of a printer. Many times my students like to bring their work home with them, yet they do not have a computer to look at. I try to have things for them printed in the library, however many of them can not afford the fee they are charged. It would be great for them to be able to click a button and print out their projects and research right in class. This will not only be time efficient, but make them feel like they have the tools they need to work on their projects. Many of my students also have problems with fine motor skills. They cannot hold a pencil long enough to write down information or even notes. Many of them have to use assistive technology in order to take notes, which can not leave the building. This makes studying at home nearly impossible. With the use of a printer in the class, I can print out the information for them to take home.

My students, love to learn and love to be able to be involved in their own research whether it be in class or at home.

By giving them the opportunity to print out their research and their projects, it will give them that sense of accomplishment they so greatly need and want.
