Special education class with students with severe needs. (Functional mental disabilities, blind, autism). K-5 all in the same room.
Position:
special education teacher
Needs:
I need technology on a daily basis to help with social stories, schedules, and to help increase communication abilities for all of my students.
My Philosophy:
I believe school should be an environment in which students feel safe, are challenged to make even the smallest of advancements, and are loved unconditionally.Ibelieve that all students should be given the opportunity to learn. I believe that all students deserve the chance to show us what they are capable of -- we need to be watching them in order to catch them trying to communicate. They might not understand that in order to be able to effectively communicate they have to interact with others. It is our job to watch them carefully to catch this.
