Hi! This is Joanne and I am about to start my 16th year as a NYC public school teacher. I have learned a lot during these years but one of the biggest lessons I have learned is how to make do with the little that I have. For the past 13 years I have been working at a Title I school which means that we service students who are most at risk for failing in school, including children and youth experiencing homelessness. As a public school we do recieve government funding but this funding is not enough to meet all of the needs of individual classrooms. I teach an inclusive kindergarten class which means that about half of my students receive special education services for a variety of needs such as learning & speech delays, physical & occupational therapy needs as well as behavioral needs.
