This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are a group of about 30 personalized learning students. We learn and grow on Chicago's south side. My students have a wide range of strengths and strive to apply their best selves to their learning practices.
My students are learning how to use their own voice and choice in deciding how to master skills.
Our goal by the end of the school year, will be to exit knowing how they each learn best.
My Project
Our school is a personalized learning school. We believe wholeheartledly in this approach. as it yields the best options to close the achievement gap. Using the personalized learning approach, students are not only met at their zone of proximal development, but they are encouraged to use their own voice and choice in choosing where and how they would like to learn.
In order to keep teaching parallel with the ways students learn, our next step is to offer multiple seating options.
This particular project will include bounce chairs for students that have high stimulation needs and personal floor desks, so that students can learn in the place that is most comfortable for them!
