My Students

My students live in a very small town with a population of approximately 2,000 people. We are nestled in the Rocky Mountains and enjoy beautiful views and are surrounded by wildlife. We are hours away from big city life and enjoy life in a simple way.

My students love a challenge, setting goals, and learning how to work together to achieve them.

The students I work with are talented, hardworking, team players, and love learning. I work with a variety of students, including high needs, autistic students learning how to be in the general education setting, and students who are gifted in regards to academics. I have students from many socio-economic backgrounds and coming from homes with different family situations.

This range of diverse students and personalities makes our learning environment a great place to grow from one another's experiences and the students all have different experiences they bring to our classroom. My students are incredible at whatever they set their minds to and surprise me every day with how much they accomplish.

My Project

Breakout EDU games are the perfect way to bring collaboration to both remote and in-person learning. I would really like to foster more engagement and collaborative effort. Through these resources, students can apply their understanding, think critically, and problem-solve to complete games.

I would like to encourage my students to higher learning through games that are designed to enhance a range of academic standards.

While keeping students engaged and motivated I can combine the high-powered techniques of cooperative learning and metacognition.

These projects can be done at home as well as in person. I would really like for students to have the opportunities to work collaboratively in person but in case of school closures, I can use these to boost engagement online.
