My Students

Rural school districts have to pinch pennies, and mine is no exception. My district covers many square miles but is so sparsely populated that they do not have enough students for a full-time art teacher nor do they need a full-time teacher for gifted students. Therefore, my students start as young as grade two and span through grade eight. Over half of the land in our district is national forest land, which means that no one lives there or pays property taxes so the school district receives a fraction of the cost of running schools. Students travel up to three hours on the bus per day to get to our consolidated schools and back home, making transportation costs alone a huge consideration.

Just like the circuit riding preachers of olden days, I am the traveling itinerant teacher of the gifted for students at three elementary schools and two middle schools in the mornings (for the entire county), but in the afternoon I change gears and teach art in grades six through eight.

My Project

I teach gifted classes half of the day: The other half of the day I teach art and STEAM Lab. There are so many different things that I am constantly changing materials. I need to be able to organize materials by different topics daily.

I teach gifted classes in Spanish, Latin, robotics, music, theory, videography, engineering, and gardening in the school greenhouse.

These kiddos need to maximize instructional time by grabbing what they need quickly instead of waiting for it to be brought to them. This would let me organize by day and roll things out quickly to maximize learning time.
