My Students

I work with students with moderate to severe disabilities; some are non-verbal, some are minimal verbal, many with low cognitive abilities. Together we run a large horticulture program and Farmer’s Market. My students are all unique individuals and I differentiate instruction based on their needs.

While working in our school-garden and at the weekly farm stand, my students continuously work on expanding their communication skills and independence.

In preparation for future employment, students practice communicating with each others, other colleagues on campus and supervisors. In preparation for their future and life outside of school, students need to practice to think and work as independently as possible by using various tools like iPads, paper-and-pencil checklists, etc.

My Project

Many students enjoy to water flowers and vegetables. When working together in our school-garden, I teach our students which plants need lots of water and which plants do not.

By providing us with updated supplies to optimize watering in our school-garden, students learn how to think about the water supply for the vegetables they want to sell at the weekly Farmers Market.

Some of the lessons include how to install the various watering systems, how to read and set a timer and how to read a weather report in order to plan a watering schedule.
