My Students

I serve students within the New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE), the largest school district in the country. I teach in District 75, the district that serves the highest-needs special education students in the NYC DOE school sytem. My students fall in the highest-needs category with nearly 100% receiving free and reduced price lunch. Some students live in shelters and do not have stable living conditions. It is up to me to provide not just a learning environment, but a safe sanctuary for my students. With learning and behavioral difficulties, these students receive services year-round, so engaging, targeted instruction is vital!

I believe that, as a teacher, it is my duty and dream to assist children with special needs in better comprehending their extraordinary potential.

Seemingly insurmountable challenges can be tackled, and this passion best captures why I entered into the field of Special Education. I know these individuals have the potential to exceed expectations, and I hope to be someone who enables them to see that in themselves.

My Project

Integrating technology in education is a fantastic way to engage, motivate and move students in academics. While we all know the amazing opportunities provided by technology, the reality is that many urban schools do not have adequate technology for their students.

Ideally, each student would have their own device that they could use to learn.

In my classroom, I have two Macs that are nearly sevem years old. Students become easily frustrated when waiting for them to load. As a result, we rarely use them.

A teacher I work with utilizes Fire tablets to download educational apps and supplement his lessons. I have seen firsthand the educational opportunities these tablets provide students. When a school purchases a computer for a classroom, they spend upwards of $1,000 and use it until it dies. A computer can stay in a classroom for over five years. These tablets, with a case only cost approximately $54! A complete set for my students, with surge protectors to charge them, would cost less than a single computer!

If we had tablets for each of my students, we would be able to work collaboratively using the Google Suite (Slides and Docs). We could even create amazing presentations using Microsoft’s Sway software. We could use educational apps to work on mathematics, literacy, and reading digital e-books. I could enhance my teaching by further individualizing my instruction to best meet each student at his/her own level. Having these tablets would engage my students and change the way they learn!

With your help, students will use the tablets year after year, benefiting generations of learners. Thank you so much! We truly appreciate it!
