My Students

I work with a group of diverse students who struggle with learning and some who are significantly below grade level. These students come to class everyday ready to work and build their skills.

I teach a low level math class for student who struggle with math and need a slower pace and concrete examples.

Many times these students struggle to under stand basic concepts.

My Project

The standing desk will allow the teacher to be able to have more flexibility with her electronic devices. She won't be stuck having to sit all day and will be able to stand while working as well.

The apple pencil will allow students to be able to read what the teacher is writing on her iPad with more ease.

Right now she is using her finger and some of the words come out messed up and not easily readable. The apple pencil will give her a chance to write more legibly.
