My Students

Census data says that our county is one of the poorest counties in the state. However, what this county lacks in resources, it makes up for in pride and spirit. A typical day in my class resembles these sentiments. In the face of poverty, pride and spirit prevail.

My students span the spectrum of behavior and ability.

Some of my students are hardworking, self starters whose grades represent their dedication to their academics. Other students can be apathetic and unruly until they are given a concrete reason to change. A classroom of students is like a box of chocolates. You simply never know what you are going to get. While my students may present me with uncontrolled variables, I offer them a constant. I offer them a constant opportunity to obtain an excellent education.

My Project

Studies show that addressing different learning styles increases student achievement. My students will use the requested materials to create personalized and engaging interactive notebooks. Creating interactive notebooks gives students more agency in the educational process. My students will be able to create study aids to process content according to their learning styles. Kinesthetic learners may wish to create foldables or flash cards to process content using colorful paper, markers, or flash cards. Visual learners may opt to create colorful graphic organizers to process content. Linguists will be able to create color coded lists or categorize information to process content.

In addition to aiding in classroom management, my project will help students understand and actively practice their agency in their education.

Teaching students how to learn according to their learning styles and giving them the freedom to do so will lead to greater academic achievement.
