HP: 2 things- We have a Be A Fan Club that teaches acceptance and understanding of students with disabilities. We have already begun to see the changes in the climate at our school. We also attend Special Olympics 4 times a year with 3 times being overnight trips. This builds friendship between students with and without disabilities and builds independence in each of my students.
If you want to nominate a teacher for me to feature in the upcoming months, please email me (successfulteaching at gmail dot com) their name, school, and contact info. Please consider helping me recognize teachers who sometimes don’t get the recognition that they deserve!
