My Students

Our students come from families who have worked very hard to make a better life for their children.

The students take their futures seriously, feel responsible to their families, and are learning to imagine who they could become.

They are a diverse bunch, and are learning to communicate across cultures. Additionally, many of them work to navigate between family cultures begun in other countries, and the greater culture of the country that is their home.

I am proud of the generosity they show each other when it is most needed. They teach each other, push each other, and make each other laugh.

Lessons built around technology engage the students. They bring smiles to the faces of students who "get it" now, and extra challenge to students who need it.

My Project

We've all heard "I'm bad at math" from family, colleagues, and children. Technology offers me one more tool to help disrupt that thinking and let them believe they are (and get) good at it.

Students in my class learn about rates of change and limiting criteria by actually manipulating lines, in a game that inspires them to figure out how to write an equation.

They learn to use technology to make sense of statistics, and communicate the story told by numbers.

All students have the right to learn and with these three laptops, students will have access to 21st-century learning. Students will learn to work on various platforms, developing their computer literacy as well as accessing lessons that create an equitable playing field.
