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

I am a first year teacher in the New York City Department of Education. My students have intellectual disabilities and autism, and are part of a special education program in a 6:1:1 setting. They are a sweet and compassionate group with unique learning needs. They have amazing capabilities and I would like to provide them with the tools to support their specific goals.

The students in my classroom benefit from visuals and technology to assist them with communication.

Through the use of visual supports and technology, my students are able to remain engaged, demonstrate their unique abilities, and attain their full potential. Being able to give them the assistive technology to complete tasks independently, will make for an exciting and productive school year!

My Project

As a special education teacher, it is essential that I provide my students with the necessary tools to meet their individualized educational goals. Providing each student with their own iPad will not only meet social distancing guidelines, but also, drastically increase student productivity.

Through the use of technology, I will be able to differentiate instruction to target students' specific learning needs.

iPads will be used in a multi-modal curriculum across all domains. The touch screens will allow my students to directly interact with the material for each subject. These iPads will be used to assist my students in communicating effectively and beginning to read. Adapted books and activities such as Boom Cards on the iPad, will allow my students to interact with the material with supportive visuals.
