I work at a Title 1 school in the inner city area of Los Angeles. The neighborhood my school services is crippled by poverty and all the issues that come along with that (including drugs, violence, homelessness etc). My students come to me reading below grade level and with the new demands common core is placing on them, the achievement gap is a very real thing for them. I task myself with the job of providing as much intervention I can each year to ensure my students get as many opportunities as possible to succeed while they are with me. In the technological age, student engagement is something all teachers struggle with, and we must move with the times. It is our job to bring them into the classroom (physically and mentally). Like the neighborhood around us, my school lacks the funding required to make our classrooms flourishing environments, and the onus falls on the teacher to find creative ways to engage students with the little tools we are provided.
