I also have a strong belief in my students' ability to learn and be successful. They are every bit as capable as so-called normal children. They are disadvantaged because they haven't had the opportunities or experiences that most children get. Once they do, they blossom. It is not unusual for a student to make more than a year's growth in an academic area once they have the proper learning tools and professional direction from the staff.
All students can learn.
I also dearly believe that if my students need something, it is my responsibility to find a way to provide it. Rather than wait for it, I must make it happen. With this in mind, I have committed to bringing the full value of technology to my classroom for my students' use. It's the secretary calling. He is in a rage, and she can't control him.
