My Students

My students are growing learners who need additional support to spark and ignite their curiosity and love of learning. Some have struggled within a typical classroom all of their educational careers. At my school, our team of teachers hopes to break that cycle by using engaging projects, innovative teaching, instructional technologies, and partnering with businesses to offer more authentic learning experiences. We hope to help our students become the future boost the area needs to open new businesses and bring new ideas to make it the booming beacon it once was.

My students have great potential to be the change our area needs.

However, we need to continue to challenge and enrich their learning environment. By having project-based learning as our main focus to try and re-engage and enrich their learning, we also need to meet their other demands. We need to foster within them to independently seek out challenges and persevere through them. We need to develop within them the ability to become lifelong learners. By offering a variety of opportunities, we can help these students become well-rounded individuals.

My Project

Going forward into this new school year, I looked over what supplies were left from Art Passion Projects last year and noticed some gaps in available resources. The canvas pads, sketch pads, and various other paints and tools will refresh and revive our supplies here at school.

To guide students, I added books to support their artistic vision and journey.

I also wanted to provide more support for students who may be beyond my knowledge of certain art styles or mediums. I have added how-to books and guides for art styles and different artistic mediums.

With all of these new and refreshed materials, students will be able to ease into a new school year of projects even though it looks vastly different from last year.
