My Project

As a dedicated special education English teacher at a high school, I am committed to supporting multilingual learners and students with disabilities. My priority is to create an environment characterized by learning, comfort, and positivity. It is crucial to recognize that many students encounter various life challenges and often lack the necessary tools to manage their emotions effectively. My objective is to establish a safe and inclusive space that encourages learning. My students require the development of coping mechanisms for challenging circumstances and the opportunity to thrive in a nurturing and encouraging environment that fosters their reading and writing skills.

Mr. W. Murphy John Marshall High School Grades 9-12
