Igniting Curiosity: Engaging Every Student in a Special Class
Thursday May 15, 2025 10:00am - 10:45am EDT
As a Special Class Teacher, working with students who have varying needs and abilities, it is my responsibility to allow students to engage in learning and show what they know in ways that may be unconventional, but more conducive to their circumstances. To ignite curiosity, and encourage learning, my students have used various technology platforms to display their learning and share their knowledge throughout the school year. In this session, I will share some of the projects I’ve developed and used with students in this class. Special Class in Irvington is a program for students with unique learning needs that require a smaller, more individualized experience.
