My Students

My students are full of energy, excited to learn, and naturally inquisitive. They want to be engaged in the lessons, instead of being passive learners.

With STEAM/STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and Problem/Project-Based Learning (PBL) students are engaged, and solving both real-life, and fictional problems.

Students want to know what they do will matter, and they are our future problem solvers.

My school has 1000 diverse students coming from different socioeconomic statuses in the largest school district in South Carolina.

My Project

My students need items to create paper circuit infographs or games (cell battery, cooper tape,and diodes). As my students learn about insects (invertebates, arthropods), that will be taking their new gained knowledge to teach this to elementary students.

My students will be challenged using circuits to create an infograph or a game to teach elementary students about circuits and insects (invertebrate).

The students will use the insects in their infograph or game to teach students about insects' symmetry, body plan, classification, defenses, movement, and how they obtain resources. By my students teaching the material they learn to other younger students, they will become the teacher!
