My students are enthusiastic, intelligent, caring, motivated 4th and 5th grade English Language learners attending a high poverty Title I elementary school in California. All of my students also have been diagnosed with mild to moderate learning disabilities and as a result, are eligible for Resource Support services from me. When most people hear the latter information, their response usually contains several common misconceptions. Contrary to some beliefs, my students can learn, can excel, and want to be successful. They thrive when taught with alternative methods or what I like to consider as "outside the box" teaching. They work best when moving and getting hands-on experiences that connect them to the real world. They are very techno-savvy and when provided visual material on a projector or computer, they are instantly mesmerized.
