Children are the eyes of the future. Their whole character is good. For your child I want unending happiness, a sense of belonging, and love. I want your child to know that they are more than capable to conquer any part of the world that they so wish.

The videos I viewed today really touched me and reminded me how important inclusion is in today’s schools. Children with disabilities deserve to be viewed as individuals first with unique likes, dislikes, and interests. “Words can help or hurt” and EVERY student deserves a great education.

I want your child to never feel they don’t matter. I want them to know I am here to help them succeed. I want them to know nothing is impossible in life. I want them to know I care. I want them to live life to the fullest.

I had several enlightening moments and a few moments of shock. One statement that really struck a chord was when one individual recalls someone saying to them that they “would rather be dead than like you.” We are obligated as educators to make sure all individuals feel worthy of love and life and obligated to teach individuals that every life is valuable. I loved that statement made that “disabilities can be powerful. I feel like this should be the motto of all special education teachers.

I want each child be supported. I want each child to know they are cared for and believed in. I want each child to know they are capable of achieving something great. I want each child to know they are an individual that can make choices for themself.

These are videos that all people should watch and learn from. I found it amazing how dedicated Avery’s teachers were to reaching the goals set forth at the beginning of the year: helping a nonverbal student form sentences. Inclusion benefited Avery in her attempts to form sentences because she was surrounded by her peers that were without any disabilities. People with disabilities are independent and take incredible pride in being independent. They don’t use their disability as an excuse. Lastly, “People First Language” is a very important concept to consider when teaching and when conversing with others. People should not be labeled by a disability they have, instead all people are equal and should be treated equally.

Graduate Danielle Bonney, Congratulations!
I teach at Cuivre Park Elementary within the Lincoln County R-III School District. I have a self-contained special education classroom for students with intellectual disabilities. I have nine students and supervise 7 paraprofessionals and 1 personal nurse. Previously, I taught Co-Teaching and Resource- I’ve hit up all the Cross-Categorical classrooms!
I have my BA in Elementary Education and Special Education, but just completed my MA in Educational Administration K-12 and Special Education Administration K-12. My original goal was to become a Director for Special Education; however, I’m leaning more on becoming a Professor. I want to get my foot in the door soon by becoming an evening adjunct professor. I LOVE training and providing additional resources to my paraprofessionals, so I think I would love to teach special education courses. I have a love and passion for special education and couldn’t see myself within any other field.
Committees: For the past 4 years, I’ve been on a number of different committes. This year, I’m on the Building Leadership Team- I provide a voice/representative for all building and special education paraprofessionals.
Hobbies/Interests: I’m planning a wedding! The big day is in June 2015. I spend a lot of time with my family and friends, enjoy baking (especially cupcakes), and I’m addicted to shopping and Lifetime movies!
My home email is Dbonney51989@gmail.com in case you need it- now that I’m done, I don’t know if I’ll be able to access my LU account!
