My Students
Defining problems, using creativity, applying research, building prototypes, and developing solutions are just some of the skills that students use when they are in my STEM classroom. Through the design process, my students are learning skills that will enable them to succeed in their future. I am currently in my 14th year of teaching middle school science, but I am always looking to implement new techniques into my curriculum to engage students for science.
Science has the ability to excite and amaze students.
When students are engaged in a hands-on activity, they are learning without even realizing it! In my inner-city classroom, students of all cultures, creeds, and backgrounds meet a common goal.
A typical day in my classroom involves my students learning science while working together to solve problems. Many express a desire to work in a STEM career, and nothing makes me happier than continuing to expand my skills and knowledge so that I can support my students in their growth.
My Project
Teachers rarely have the opportunity to improve their craft. In order to have an engaging, relevant classroom environment, teachers need to have access to interesting lessons and materials that their students will love. I am requesting a year membership to the American Association of Chemistry Teachers to have access to new methods of teaching and learning. I am also requesting a $100 gift card to Teachers Pay Teachers to be able to purchase financial literacy digital books and lessons to use in my classroom this upcoming school year.
It is crucial for our students to learn about creating their own wealth and developing a sound understanding of how finance works.
Having access to these materials will improve my teaching and provide a well-rounded education to my students.
