Special Education Adapted Curriculum

Decent Essays
Graduate Goals I desire is to move forward as a graduate student in the field of Special Education Adapted Curriculum-K-12. My goal is to strengthen my ability to reach out and partner with twenty-first century learners with unique needs.
I am a motivator and my focus is helping children to develop and build a desire to love and respect for themselves and others in their environment and share their own dreams and ideas with their teacher and peers. When the voice of each child is heard, and the environment is touched in a manner the child feels free to communicate with teachers, and their peers, and exhibit respect for themselves and others and promote an awareness of setting fair and consistent rules.
My desire is to develop curriculums

Parents were faced with humiliation and public scorning for having a child with a disability and lived in fear. People are now more widely educated and have advanced over the past century to include children with disabilities as part of society and not simply a disgrace to be swept under the rug.…

From the first day of my observation hours, Mrs. Degroot made me feel completely welcome and comfortable, which made the experience that much better.…
