My Students
Our school is a middle/high school in the urban area of Maryland. We focus on educating our students to become great leaders and citizens. Students are celebrated for exhibiting our school's core values: integrity, scholarship, citizenship, perseverance, and sustainability.
My students learn best through real-world applications, hands-on activities, and authentic experiences.
They work super hard and they are eager to learn. I teach students with diverse abilities, interests, and backgrounds. My students are in various grade levels, but they all thrive when they get to "do" science!
For the 2021-2022 school year, I am teaching AP Seminar, AP Research, and Independent Study: Science. STEM/STEAM hands-on activities, cross-curricular projects, and laboratory investigations help my students to learn and apply concepts.
Having experiences dealing with research in high school will better prepare them for their future college and career choices. AP Seminar and AP Research allow them to explore themes, develop and refine their reading and writing skills, earn college credit, and so much more. Independent Study: Science allows them to explore topics within science that are interesting to them. I am so excited to be teaching these courses!
My Project
I created the lesson plan that goes along with this financial literacy kit. While I have some copies of Hidden Figures, I do not have enough for all of my students.
Hidden Figures is the amazing story of brilliant Black females who contributed so much to the NASA space program.
While reading and discussing the book, students will increase their content knowledge and literacy skills. They will also celebrate the contributions of people that look like them! Students will learn about financial decision-making, budgeting, and the engineering design process by designing and building a Mars rover.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
