To ensure each one of my students has equal access to the class content and is given equal support to succeed, I have made certain adaptations to my lesson style.
Although we all may learn differently, each student, I believe, has the ability to and the right to learn; I will aide them in succeeding in school and becoming well rounded people to the best of my ability.
Students come to me in all shapes, colors, creeds, nationalities, lifestyles, sizes, orientations, mindsets, etc. Listen below are just a few examples of student types which are prevalent and I have training working with.
Each and every student, regardless of any characteristic, will receive my full attention when asked for and will receive instruction, knowledge, and compassion from me.
English Language Learners I am committed to speaking with each ELL child, their parents/guardians, and school staff, in order to determine the needs of the student and allow them to succeed. Although there are many methods I implement in my daily lessons that tailor to the needs of an ELL, like incorporating images, translations, and diverse cultural content, each student comes to the English language and the American school system at different levels and abilities; it is my job as an educator to address the needs of each student and get them to access the content and thrive as a native English speaker would.
Special Needs Students Special needs students vary and come to our class with differing necessities; I take each child on an individual basis and provide all the resources to aid them succeeding. It is my promise, to the best of my ability, help each child see their full capability and try their best in my class.
At Risk Students As each and every staff member on our campus has promised, I am a committed and compassionate outlet that is available to speak with any child that may feel endangered, pressured, or uncomfortable in any aspect of their lives. To focus students in class, I run a very structured and safe classroom based on mutual respect and teamwork; this formative, communal space is open to students as a safe place.
