My Students
I teach 20 wonderful, enthusiastic innovators! Some of my students are homeless, some live with extended families and others come from single-parent households. Regardless of their background or socioeconomic standing, they each hold a spot in my heart and though they have been challenged with various learning and social and personal adversities, they each have persevered and are striving to be the BEST they can be! My students are part of a turn-around model this year where they are being challenged with academic rigor, learning to collaborate, communicate, show empathy, self-discipline, perseverance, and how to be creative!
My Project
Working in a Pre-k through 8th grade school that is working towards STEM certification, it's necessary to be knowledgeable. This process involves a shift in pedagogy, school culture, and instruction. This professional development will help me gain knowledge and resources in order to increase my pedagogy in STEM, become aware of best practices and integration. The Winter Institute 2020 Art in Motion program will allow me to learn more about computer science and coding.
This opportunity will allow me to expose students to unique and explicit instruction across grade levels, specifically computer science.
It will also help me to to become better at helping my students to become facilitators of of their own learning. Bringing computer science into an urban, under-represented community will not only benefit my students but change their educational outlook and open doors to them that may have once never been possible.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
