Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This year my co-teacher and I are doing what is called parallel teaching in our ICT (Inclusive Co-Teaching) classroom. We have students that are in General Education and students that have IEPs. Both teachers are delivering a lesson to two groups at the same time. This helps students to stay more engaged and have more opportunities to share their ideas.

Every student learns differently.

I want to give my students flexible seating options that will match their learning styles. Our room is not very large and students are either sitting on a thin rug or in their chairs during instruction. They are always moving to get comfortable and to be able to see the lesson.

Giving students options such as floor cushions, stools, and benches will allow every student to see the teacher and let them sit comfortably. Students will also be able to use these seating options when they are working independently.
