Students, Teachers, and Administration Reaching Success!
Hospital Homebound program serves students with " medically diagnosed physical or psychiatric condition which is acute or catastrophic in nature, or a chronic illness, or a repeated intermittent illness due to persisting medical problem and which confines the student to home or hospital, and restricts activities for an extended period of time" (District Website).
Providing education through Innovative Technology Pedagogy
The unique nature of Hospital Homebound and Alternative Education Programs (HH) proves an interesting challenge for educators in that technology is the only gateway through which learning can happen for this specific demographic of student.
As an educator of this demographic, one does not have the option to sever ties with technology. One must be an innovative, knowledge-seeking educator who is well-versed in various technological uses in order to fully expose the HH student to the content knowledge necessary to satisfy state standards.
In order to provide the best possible education to our students, we, at HH, embrace technology and its progressive pedagogical implications. The website linked above serves as a repository for student work, our success stories, and insights to the program.
MVP of Hospital Homebound Biographies and Credos
My teaching philosophy views all learners as capable when the information is presented in a harmonious and upbeat atmosphere. I strive to establish a friendly, if firm, rapport with the students in order to facilitate learning. If a student does not feel comfortable with the instructor or feels as if the instructor is in any way unavailable, the student will not approach the teacher with questions and concerns. This lack of trust and common understanding hinders student learning.
