Our school serves students grades 7 through 12 and is located one block from City Hall. Students from many areas of the city are identified when they experience difficulty, allowing the focus to be on intervention rather than remediation.
For the most at-risk students, those with habitual truancy, significant behavior issues, and histories of suspension and expulsion, the goal is to change behavior so that these students will stay in school and earn enough credits to graduate.
When we established the first library in 2014 we included popular urban lit, graphic novels, and books about the justice system. Now we are adding a maker space.
Service learning in the school garden provides students with hands-on lessons that include math, science, art, and languages arts. Students will use the digital microscope to examine garden plants and insects!
My Project
Our students will use the digital microscopes to examine, compare, and record findings online. Images can be saved or printed, allowing for close examination. Also, images seen through a digital microscope let students in various locations examine the image at the same time on computer screens. The entire class can view a specimen when the camera is hooked up to a computer and data projector. All the students get to see the same specimen. They can also save images and measure changes over time. Student leaders will learn to use the Cricut machines and develop guidelines and step by step instructions. With the Cricut machine, students can create paper, leather, wood & fabric designs using wireless technology. Students will learn to use the mode and function buttons for many creative projects.
