These have special meaning to me because children are innocent. They did not ask to be born into this world. They need to feel loved and they need people in their lives that make them feel safe and trusting. It is my job to make sure that they are treated fair and equal regardless of what their abilities/disabilities are. In order for children to be successful in the classroom activities, they have to be presented in a way that all children can benefit from. I will always stay up-to-date on laws concerning children, education, and abuse and neglect.
