Goal

The escape room project will work to immerse students into an interactive adventure that is tangible and entirely different from the traditional learning environment. Students will be required to physically interact with technology, texts, codes, puzzles and other props. 

 

What will be done with my students

As the intensive behavior intervention teacher, I am not a specific content area teacher. I assist students in the program with all of their course work. I will use the escape rooms as a method to help the subject area teachers deliver their material - regardless of which subject it may be. When students are preparing to begin a new chapter, unit, or concept, I will gather specific content from the teacher that he/she wants to ensure the students know in advance of beginning the new material. I will then take that information and use it in the escape room. Doing so will be providing students with background information - sort of like a review. 

 

Benefits to my students

Any escape room created will not only be used with the 20 students in our unit, but also, with the general education students in the classes that our students are assigned to.

Escape rooms promote teamwork, collaboration, speed, creativity, and patience. It places students in an educationally-enriching scenario that requires the contribution of the special talents of everyone in the group to achieve success. Escape rooms make learning fun. It removes students from the four walls of the classroom and the front and back covers of a textbook and places them in a unique situation that makes learning challenging and fun. 

 

Budget Narrative

The items to be purchased are reusable and necessary for creating different types and themed escape rooms. The items are durable and will last for years. They can also be loaned to other teachers who may be interested in creating their own escape room.
