My Students

My students impress me every day and every class motivates me to grow as an educator. They range from being shy or struggling collaborators to being boisterous and strong independent learners. At the same time, they are all growing as confident speakers and emerging writers with control and voice. As future leaders in our community and society along with being current leaders and contributors in the classroom, they make me proud because of their willingness to grow.

As English 9 and 10 students, they love to learn, especially with engaging activities that ask them to reason and work with their peers during opportunities that ask them to build a sense of community in an academic environment.

From class discussions to speeches to being part of a panel and being part of Socratic Seminars, they always show me they are passionate students who want to be part of what makes a positive society as we read and analyze literature while engaging in discussions on ethics and humanity.

My Project

During this time in history that distance learning will be our new normal due to COVID-19 and the mandated Shelter-in-Place, I would like to be able to work efficiently and be innovative as I redesign lessons and support my students.

As an educator, I always want to grow with my students by staying relevant and always being a proactive learner.

I would like to be able to utilize the apps and capabilities an iMac offers and I would like to be able to share these with my students through the lessons I can design and the projects they can create.
