My Students

I work in a setting that is completely devoted to working with students with special needs. I am a middle school special education teacher primarily working with students with autism and intellectual disabilities in 6:1:1, 8:1:1 and 12:1:1. I have REMARKABLE students! I admire that they come to school ready to work. They are truly my reason for coming to work. They amaze me everyday. I have made it my mission as an educator, to focus on my students' abilities. After all, Dr. Temple Grandin affirms that "the world needs all kinds of minds.”

My Project

I am elated to begin teaching my students the necessary skills needed to obtain employment in the area of sales and food preparation. My students have demonstrated tremendous progress in their addition and subtraction skills. Now, I would like for them to use those skills and apply them to the real world.

This project will provide my students with autism, needed appliances in order to successfully run a school cafe.

This school cafe will increase their money, measuring and addition skills. Statistics have demonstrated that the unemployment rate for individuals with special needs is staggering. With the implementation of a school cafe, my students will acquire necessary skills to obtain employment in various areas of food preparation and retail.
