My Project

I love my students! I want to give them the best opportunities for success. I will be running a job readiness program in my class to help teach my non-verbal students with autism about jobs and working in retail. We will set up a school store providing other classes the opportunity to buy snacks and drinks in order to teach real-world money exchange, how to stock, take inventory, and greet customers.

My students will learn valuable life experiences straight from our special education classroom.

They will use this store to prepare them for graduation and getting a job!
