This was a research project I did on Waldorf education and connected it to Maslow's theory. It fits under this standard because it connects educational philosophy with child development theories to create meaningful, real-world learning experiences. By analyzing how Waldorf education integrates academics, arts, and hands-on activities to meet students' developmental needs, I demonstrated how content can be applies in ways that engage and support the whole child. This understanding strengthens my ability to design interdisciplinary, purposeful instruction.
This bilingual counting book fits under this standard by connecting cultural traditions to academic skills like counting and literacy. Students apply their knowledge of numbers while learning about a meaningful cultural celebration, making the content more relevant and engaging. This cross-disciplinary approach deepens understanding and encourages real-world connections.
This project on AAC fits under this standard by demonstrating how assistive technology can be used to support communication, independence, and learning for students with disabilities. It applies knowledge from multiple fields such as, technology, communication, and special education which create meaningful ways for all students to access and engage with content. This project shows how real-world tools can be integrated to meet diverse learner needs and promote equity.
