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 from various backgrounds who are all eager learners. My students receive Special Education services to help them access the curriculum and excel. They range in various reading and mathematics grade levels but they are all learners who don't let anything get in their way.

My Project

I am a Special Education Teacher who write IEPs for my students and using an old Macbook (2013) has gotten to be a bit of a hassle. The processing is slow and it takes longer than normal to write the IEPs that drive my student's education. IEPs are educational plans for students who receive special education services. With these plans, the other teachers will get to know my students and provide them with the best instruction to meet them where they are so that they can be successful in class.
