My Project

When Covid hit in 2022, we teachers rallied to make sure our quarantined students did not fall behind. We used electronic resources at our disposal to ensure students were still able to remain on target with their graduation cohort. However, in recent years, dependence on these tools has weakened students' ability to maximize their potential. This year, I am returning to a paper-pencil strategy with interactive notebooks to help my students strengthen their writing and critical thinking skills. Research indicates that the reliance on AI has severely weakened these skills in students, and I want to help mine exercise these academic muscles!
