My Students

I teach a diverse group of students. They come from varying socioeconomic backgrounds. My students' ability levels vary from far below grade level to high above and beyond grade level. They learn best when they are fully engaged in lessons.

Hands-on learning and student-centered lessons are my ideal way to reach my students on their varying levels.

I truly enjoy getting to know my students and their interests. Fostering strong relationships with students is an essential part of my teaching.

My Project

I will learn the different tips, tricks, best practices, and teacher secrets to building a successful and engaging classroom. My learning experience from this conference will help provide rigorous activities and engagement for all students. This will help provide a challenging, but engaging environment for learning.

I will learn to create lesson plans that will challenge my students and leave them craving for more.

I will apply this by creating engaging and rigorous lessons and empowering my students to be motivated and successful! My students will fall in love with learning and be challenged in all areas. This will make the learning environment exciting and successful!
