Michael’s journey from middle school through the transition program using technology has been
life changing. Allow
learning
to create your “next step”, if your student masters the step
your
teaching
moves forward. If the student doesn’t, modify/adjust what you are teaching and decide if they are ready for the next step.
Dream
for where your student wants to go, to support them in reaching their goal. While on this journey, things may be created to get them beyond their dreams. (Michael is proof you can get there).
