My Students

As most of my kids are college-bound, they are eager to be engaged and learn important skills provided by science. My students want and need the most relevant tools to use as they learn science.

They want to use and learn with the most relevant and current tools because they want to be ready for the world that awaits.

They are eager to collaborate, investigate, and to share their knowledge of the concepts being taught. Building a base of equipment to enhance STEM learning is a priority for not only me but them as well.

We are in a big city and a big school, but they love to connect in the smaller setting of the classroom. When they learn to work in small groups and have the tools to actually do and try the principles being taught, the more excited they get about learning.

My Project

Students engage best when they can be involved in the learning process rather that just observe it. They also need the ability to see each other and interact throughout the learning process.

With the current situation we are in and the need to limit contact between students meeting in person, I need a solution to help them still have access to the best learning methods.

The desk dividers will help me provide more of these opportunities for the students while in science. The dividers have the ability to be set up in a variety of ways allowing for multiple seating arrangements.

The clear dividers will allow arrangements into groups, allowing students to see and discuss ideas with each other while having a protective barrier.

They will also be able collaborate for labs. With the need to limit the contact between students and supplies, the dividers would still allow students work in small groups to observe & participate in experimenting up close. Much better than the alternative of teacher demo. The dividers will also contain all lab materials which provides important lab safety in addition to health barriers.

I have previously had students use dry erase markers on page protectors to share ideas & draw models of their thinking. The dividers will be able to be used for this and be an easy surface for students to compare their thinking with others.

Finally, when testing, students will have paper laid over the dividers to help keep their focus on their own assessment and not who is or isn't finished yet.
