Jay Gregorio

Gregorio’s innovative teaching idea, “Eureka for the IDEA!,” is a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) based project designed to provide opportunities for the special education population, engaging in hands-on activities that encourage critical thinking, collaboration and creativity. Students involved in the program, in the past, have shown high interest in the sciences especially those activities that involve experimenting, drawing, designing and building. The "Eureka for the IDEA" program will use a project-based learning approach which recognizes and addresses these interests. Each stage of the project will incorporate the use of new vocabulary, practice of reading comprehension, use of technology in presentations and strategies in communication.
