I teach US History and government at a Title I High School. The majority of my students live in poverty and too many of these brave, smart young girls and boys have been pushed through the system without much real education. I want to change that. Instead of sending students to the principal's office where they miss valuable class time, I want to challenge them to stay. If the desks are uncomfortable, they can sit in the ottomans or the little couch. I can create a safe environment where it is fun to learn and where groups can collaborate throughout the class, such as CSI: The Lost Colony at Roanoke or a theatrical performance of Hamilton as they would have written it. I want them participating in their own education and I will strive to make them as dedicated to their success as I am by allowing them to step outside the traditional boundaries of the classroom and to embrace the endless possibilities for learning.
