My Students

The middle school I teach at has over 1,000 students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade and I have students at all three levels.

I teach both general education ELA and a reading intervention course for students several grade levels behind.

For both I integrate digital tools every day and have a classroom library available to them.

I also host two clubs: Arts and Crafts and Yoga. 7th and 8th grade students have P.E. every day, but 6th grade only has it every other day. Likewise, only a fraction of our students have Art as an elective. These clubs give all students the option for creation and movement!

My Project

ITSE is a conference I believe will make me a better teacher for my kids! Their website says: "The ISTE Conference & Expo is the must-attend professional learning event for educators seeking to reimagine teaching and learning with technology.

It’s where educators and innovators come together to share big ideas, solve tough problems, expand good practice and inspire their careers!

You need to be at this global gathering of education innovation."

I believe this opportunity will help me expand and perfect my curriculum. Implementing technology effectively becomes more important every year to better prepare students for the world they will soon be citizens in.
