My Students
Resilient, positive, compassionate, and driven describe the scholars at my middle school. The obstacles the scholars have to overcome simply to make it to school would have many adults think of quitting and yet they succeed and thrive. The middle school is located in one of the poorest and most under-served neighborhoods in a large, rich city. They represent an array of abilities, beliefs, backgrounds, ethnicities, and identities. All of their differences unite them together in a beautiful way. The school has formed a strong community in which no scholar falls through the cracks and all have a chance at academic and social success.
My Project
Students and teachers are back at school and there have been big feelings. How do we teach our young people how to deal with anxiety, fear, shyness? We do it through stories shared together.
Books and stories help provide a map of how to do deal with stressful times.
I will use these various story books in classes using a read aloud and together we will find meaning in the shared stories to build resiliency, determination, joy and gratitude. Storytelling is our oldest form of communication and has gotten humans out of many tough times. Help me get stories to our young students to help them through this crazy time.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
