Every student has an innate desire to learn. However, when many people hear special education, they forget this. Upon entering my resource class, you will quickly discover students who truly desire to investigate the world around them. Unfortunately, many of the students feel defeated walking in the door. They know they are not where their peers are, but the thirst of knowledge is still there.
My goal is to instill in them the confidence to show their accomplishments.
Some do this through artwork, oral presentations, or technology. It just takes a bit of creativity to allow them to truly shine.
Some kids love to read but others struggle due to learning disabilities, cultural disadvantages, lack of interest, and lack of material they can relate to.
TIME Magazine for kids would give them a wide range of topics and other cultures to read about that they would not normally come in contact with.
I would use TIME For Kids as a way to hook them on certain topics and then use that as a jump-off point to initiate more in-depth research utilizing higher level reading texts.
Reading is the foundation for all other disciplines of learning. If I can get them excited about using reading to learn more about something they are interested in I can strengthen their progress in other subjects.
