My Project

I have taught special education for over 20 years. I have come to understand that assessing and directing instruction at student's deficits is vital. In my classroom, students are taught new skills and how to access their resources. That is what we do as adults, correct? That is what my students need to learn as well. Additionally, children are more and more afflicted with attention issues and the need to move around. I have addressed that issue with the requested supplies as well as making better math resource binders to help students be able to access unknown information. All of these things combined will impact my math classrooms greatly.
