As a general educator, I have the privilege of teaching one student with an IEP. His conduct and difficulty staying on task is what mostly interferes with his learning.

As I continue to work with my scholars, I will make their voice heard in the classroom by positively narrating them and praising their effort. Through my continuous collaboration with other professionals, I will provide my scholars with resources need to address their attention deficit. I will continuously work to build a positive relationship with my scholars and see to it that 100% of them are making some academic
