Mr. Pinola’s Classroom Edit display name

The two whiteboards will really aid my class in being able to carry out tutorials where they are able to work out their points of confusion. Currently, we have four groups using two whiteboards. Our groups are making due with what we have, but it is really challenging for my students to manage their noise level while working in such a close proximity to other groups. The achievement level of every student in my AVID classes has really improved, due to the tutorials that we do in class. Students ask each other high-level questions in order to help solve a student's point of confusion. The tutorial process really leads to everyone in the group understanding the point of confusion and that is where the magic happens. Students are able to reach a higher level of understanding when they can teach a concept to someone else using only inquiry. Two more whiteboards would be the most amazing addition to my class. Students are so bummed out that they have to share our two existing whiteboards. They want to work in different parts of the room so that they can focus on their tutorials. The freestanding whiteboards would allow students to utilize the large space that we have in our classroom. Thank you for your consideration!
