My Students

We have a fantastic school full of middle school students from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. In our school we have everything from gifted learners, to English Language Learners and students with special learning needs.

Even with their diverse backgrounds and abilities, our students are kind to each other and happy to be at school.

They enjoy learning and are a joy to be around. This club would benefit all students and be open to any sixth, seventh or eighth grade students who were interested.

We are located in a suburban, middle class neighborhood at a school which is not designated Title 1, which means we don't receive as much funding as other schools near us.

My Project

The Advisor Institute is Model United Nations professional development for educators. At the Institute I will learn how to start a Model United Nations (MUN) club at my school. This will empower our students to become student leaders and create a sustainable Model UN program for years to come.

I will understand and be able to share with others how Model UN benefits students, particularly their knowledge of global issues and development in 21st century skills, including research, public speaking, and critical thinking.

The institute goes in depth on how to help students prepare for Model UN conferences, how to help students research country policies on a Model UN topic, what primary and secondary sources to look for, and the best online resources to use. It also focuses on how to help students write position papers (and see examples of great position papers) as well as help students to improve their confidence in public speaking, debate, and negotiation.
