Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are curious and creative young adults who are excited to learn! They love hands-on activities and real world, experiential learning through which they can develop knowledge, skills, and values from experiences outside traditional academic experiences. They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances to grow both academically and personally; preparing for life after high school. They are inspirational!

The young adults in my classroom are looking forward to being as independent as possible after completing school.

My students are part of a larger community of students who are diagnosed with a variety of disabilities that can make learning more challenging. Part of their education is participating in internships and volunteer experiences around the school building and community to build functional and life skills.

Each student in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They truly are incredible, and I am so thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited to learn each year!

My Project

As a special education teacher in a D75 setting, my students benefit from multiple forms of differentiation and a variation of learning styles. Blended learning (remote and in-person) is the new reality. The set of tablets will allow my students to have access to digital resources to support their fundamental reading and writing skills in additional to the printed materials while building their understanding of technology. The speech-to-text and text-to-speech or read aloud capabilities will support comprehension and critical thinking skills. Additionally, by having an iPad, I will able to model assignments and provide my students with screen recordings as visual and audio reference when they are working remotely. My students deserve to have access to the resources and supports during blended learning.
