My Students

My students are growing in their interest and ability to innovate. Although they may be at different stages of innovative thought, my students share at least two traits. My students are amazing people! They are eager to design and build their own unique experiences, and they are interested in learning and applying new tools.

Our charter school has a mixed population of 64% Title I (unduplicated count) students from predominantly urban settings.

Students of all races and a number of ethnic backgrounds work together in a safe and secure environment. Our school demographics are as follows: 3.8% Asian, 31.2% Afro-American, 30.1% Hispanic 5.9% multiracial, and 29.0% White. Students at our school are motivated and enthusiastic when given the opportunity to show their inventiveness and talents.

My Project

Currently, in my classroom, we have access to a limited number of Vernier probes and they are awesome. They are awesome, but not utilized to their full potential. The requested probes and environmental chambers will be applicable to many of the lessons and labs we cover in biology and chemistry and will also provide a plethora of data which students will be able to analyze. They will also allow us to more fully utilize this amazing technology in my classroom.

With the implementation of NGSS, collecting and analyzing data will become much more important in the science classroom.

While it has always been important in science, never before has the technology been available to make the collection of data so accessible and user-friendly. It is time to make chemistry catch up to our 21st-century learners in a format that suits this generation.
