A TpT School Access Case Study
Supporting the Diversity of Needs in Special Education Classrooms with TpT School Access
Intro
TpT School Access provides special educators with materials that are appropriate for their exceptional learners.
At Princeton House Charter School (PHCS), a K-5 public charter school serving students with Autism, what makes the role of a special educator especially challenging is the number and diversity of needs in their classroom. PHCS teachers must support not only their students’ academic needs, but also their behavioral, communication, physical needs and more. To add to this challenge, special educators are frequently operating with limited materials that support their student population.
At PHCS, teachers were turning to resources from Teachers Pay Teachers to meet their students’ unique needs. Because PHCS school leaders recognize the importance of providing their teachers with the resources and support they need, they decided to empower their teachers with a school-wide TpT School Access subscription.
