Teaching for America in the Lou

I'm teaching special education in the English department at Gateway Tech High School. On average, my students are reading at a 3rd grade level - so I definitely have my work cut out for me. My goal is to increase the reading level by an average of 2 years by the end of the school year. I also plan to have my students create a portfolio that showcases their strengths and levels of self-understanding and self-appreciation. Wish me luck!!! :)

Hooray for Sharday!!!

Sharday, my deaf student, came to school yesterday just beaming. She brought her mother to meet me and to talk about how they're working on transfering her to a deaf school - HOORAY! It's unfortunate that we can't give Sharday what she needs here at Gateway, but she is so far behind her same age peers that she absolutely needs this opportunity. We're all very excited for her :)
