My Students

My students are your prototypical middle school students. They love to learn (even if they won't admit to it), and they love to have fun (even when they are not supposed to). My students love to learn about the world and are consistently seeking to expand their horizons beyond the four walls of our classroom and the confines of our school. They love to learn and are constantly asking questions about the world around them.

More than 40% of the students at our school come from low-income households.

A further 11% of students are classified as English Language Learners. Nearly 44% of the school identifies as persons of color. Overall the students from our school are a very diverse crowd representative of the neighborhoods in which they come from. Our school serves over 1,500 students who are eager to learn about new and exciting perspectives.

My Project

History is the story of who we are. It is the story of how we got to today, and moreover how we can avoid the mistakes of the past. To be a great history teacher requires access to fantastic materials. For the past 6 years, I have created these materials using nothing but the ideas and imagination of myself, my teammates, and other teachers around the planet. This can be incredibly difficult to continually make high-caliber, engaging lessons for students.

In this current environment of constant change, uncertainty, and new methods it is impossible to consistently create at a high level.

Teachers Pay Teachers will grant me access to high-quality activities and assignments which will expand the activities we will be able to do in the classroom as we shift to Hybrid learning. My plan is to utilize these funds to engage my students and create a classroom that not only engages students but makes them excited to come back to school.
