My Students

I am lucky enough to teach a dynamic group of students that come from all walks of life! Our students are in school to learn about academic subjects, but these are not the only things that they need to learn if they ever want to become successful in the real world.

Students today learn in so many different ways and it is my job to meet their individual needs through personalized learning.

As a teacher, I strive to find ways to motivate, engage, and spark creativity in my students. And that costs money - that's where I need your help!

My Project

Teachers, schools, and districts use Kagan Structures to increase academic achievement, enhance self-esteem, reduce discipline problems, and develop students' social skills. The Kagan materials I am requesting will engage every student. In the traditional classroom, the teacher is the hardest working person. With these Kagan items, my students will be doing the work!

The more my students interact with their peers and with the curriculum, the more they'll learn.

Structured conversations, cooperative games, teambuilding activities and more will take my classroom instruction to the next level. This effective approach will capture the minds and attention of every student I teach!
