My Students
My students are members of alternative education. They have had gaps in their learning or have been unsuccessful at their previous comprehensive high schools.
What I love about my students is that although they continue to face challenges in life and education, they also continue to accept the challenges they are confronted with and take them head on, persevering in their pursuits of graduation.
My Project
Students in Washington D.C. need more STEM experiences. My current students have been learning the principles of geometry in theory, viewing from textbooks or video screens. The geometric boards and three dimensional figures will allow them to physically see the concepts being taught.
Many of my students are kinesthetic learners and need tangible items to help them solve the mysteries of math and more specifically geometry.
Through the use of the intended materials students will be able to better understand and further explore the stem field which is paramount to the future success.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
