My Project

When students are in middle school helping them stay organized can teach them skills for later in life. When students have one place they can keep all their materials it will help them academically as well as learning new life skills.

I have a classroom strategy that allows students to work at their own pace.

This allows students who understand a topic move on to something more challenging, while also giving me the time to help students who are struggling with the topic.

This method allows students more freedom of their learning. However, it also requires them to stay organized and learn time management, organization, and responsibility. I challenge them because I put the learning in their hands. Having this "hands-off" approach makes it so students, for possibly the first time, have to put in the effort and energy to complete and learn skills.

When students can finally see that the hard work they complete is getting them towards closer to the final goal, they are actually excited to show off their progress.

I appreciate your time for looking at this project, I know that in the long run it helps students get excited about learning, finding ways to organize all their content, as well as learning that when you put in hard work, you will see amazing results!
