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 Project

Students with learning disabilities are able to succeed and excel in environments that are conducive to them. 12:1 classrooms are settings provided to students with individual-educational programs, to optimize achievement. In order to ensure an equitable and quality opportunity are provided to my students, I am requesting trapezoid student desks to promote peer-group collaborations while maintaining essential, individual desks, with personal storage for all learning tools and materials paired with bouncing cantilever chairs to manage students' anxiousness. Teaching multiple special education grades can become overwhelming. Stools with storage will aid teachers in managing supplies needed for their learning groups and efficiently navigating between classroom locations.
