My students are active learners who need a new way to express themselves. They want to communicate with peers, teachers and parents. The goal is to foster opportunities to capture a moment and express what they've learned. Along the way they can look back and see how they've grown. They are also excellent teachers. However, they struggle, as an urban public school to voice an opinion. They tend to two extremes. Either they'd rather not get noticed or noticed for all the wrong reasons. Either way there is loss for growing and sharing. They struggle for the attention they deserve as intelligent individuals who all have something to contribute.
