The students that I work with attend a high poverty school that serves children with disabilities in Brooklyn, New York. I teach a self-contained 12:1:4 (12 students: 1 teacher: 4 paraprofessionals) K-2nd grade class. My students have different diagnosis, such as Autism, intellectual and physical disabilities, and Down Syndrome. I work in one of the highest need areas in NYC and almost all my students rely on our free breakfast and lunch program. My students have different academic levels, interests, behaviors, and learning styles. All of them have very unique needs, and learn very differently. I am continuously striving for ways to engage them in learning and help each and every child achieve their full potential.
