My Students

"You gave me the confidence to pass this test, even when I didn't want to take it."

As a Junior-level, English 3 teacher, it is not only my job, but my goal, to help students learn as much as they can before graduating and attending college.

Another amazing group of eager, 11th grade students, have begun to cling to our motto, "DREAM TEAM," and have slowly started to show signs of embodying this image. Each and every day, my students strive to be better than they were before, taking one step closer towards greatness.

Our Dream Team is a culture of students who dare to go farther an work harder than they have before. Each of my students are determined to accept the knowledge available to them and have answered the call of completing the requirements necessary for graduation.

My Project

The Dream Team classroom will use the supplies and novel technology to differentiate instruction across lessons. For students who utilize more visual methods, we will be able to create visuals though artistic expression and design. We will use the Chromebooks and iPad to access online portals and learning tools to expand the learning environment we are often limited by within one classroom. Online formats will help differentiate learning and expose students to more online mechanics that will help foster their learning in addition to teacher-to-student instruction.

It is not only my job, but my goal to help aid students on their quest towards learning, graduation and attending college.

With supplies such as colored pencils, markers and crayons, I can implement unique learning activities that target more visual and hands-on learners in my classroom. I believe with his help, we can make a much larger impact on the daily lives, and ultimately, the future of this Dream Team.
