As a teacher in a low-income and high poverty school, I see that my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Many of them have experienced trauma in their lives and have difficulty coming to school. They come to school with baggage that we can't even imagine, from witnessing domestic violence to not knowing where they are going to sleep at night. My classroom serves students with a range of disabilities; talented and gifted students, students with intellectual disabilities, emotional disturbance, autism spectrum disorder and students with high sensory needs.
Despite the many challenges they face, I strive to provide my students with creative, meaningful, and relevant learning experiences.
