I have 18 special education high school students (freshmen - seniors) throughout the day. The school they attend is a low income (Title 1) school and 90% of my students have free or reduced lunch. Their IQ's are between 50-60. There are non readers up to mid 3rd grade reading level. In math, they work continuously on counting coins and giving back change. Our curriculum has a lot of hands on activities and real world, functional material. Needless to say, the students work is "individualized". Many days, my students are learning at different rates and we need an area for students to go to concentrate and work independently, with a small group, or with a teacher. Also, my students are in a self-contained class, they are with their classmates all day, except for PE and lunch.
