My students are funny, creative, and driven. They leave me feeling motivated and upbeat each day. They are unique, and they all use their talents in individualized ways to gain success. I love to support them and their goals.
Together, we challenge each other to improve upon ourselves and our talents.
I consistently enjoy our group discussions, teachable moments, and uplifting conversations. Small town students are truly inspiring as they make their way through life and strive to better their community.
My Project
I teach in an impoverished area where many of my students are unable to purchase basic school supplies that are necessary for their academic success. Every semester I ensure that each of my students have a composition notebook on the very first day by buying one for each of them. However, this can quickly become a costly pursuit for a public school teacher with approximately 90 students per semester, 180 students per school year.
Individualized Interactive Notebooks create an organized hands-on work space that can be with the students at all times to help them connect cross-curricular ideas and topics.
These notebooks help advanced learners truly go above and beyond what they are capable of by becoming applicable in all content areas, as well as help struggling students stay organized with all their notes, practice pages, and information in one location.
