My Project

Students with special needs are are concerned about the environment and the they are asking for books about transportation. They see the impact of busy cities and driving most everywhere.

The goals for this projects is for students to become more education as learning can influence both their individual behavior and the broader societal change.

These students I work with are curious and creative. They are also passionate about their community and inspiring change. Whether it's a specific subject or just the general act of learning, their passion can be contagious and can create a dynamic and engaging atmosphere. Their enthusiasm can remind you of the the power of knowledge.
