My Project

Independent Learning Stations in my classroom generate a welcomed buzz of excitement and foster intrinsic motivation towards exploring subject-specific tasks. I get excited as the students get excited to participate in various modalities of learning.

Clear and Present Learning will create an organized space where the students can clearly identify the subject area we are working on and independently retrieve and return materials to support their thinking.

The students in our community and in my class are eager, excited learners, working hard towards academic goals among their peers. We are English Language Learners, migrants, living in shelters, below the poverty line, living in foster homes and sometimes marginalized. I am a proud teacher in a Title I school and would love to create a space where clarity towards learning is visible.
