My Students

My students are growing learners who need additional support to spark and ignite their curiosity and love of learning. Some have struggled within a typical classroom all of their educational careers. At my school, our team of teachers hopes to break that cycle by using engaging projects, innovative teaching, instructional technologies, and partnering with businesses to offer more authentic learning experiences. We hope to help our students become the future boost the area needs to open new businesses and bring new ideas to make it the booming beacon it once was.

My students have great potential to be the change our area needs.

However, we need to continue to challenge and enrich their learning environment. By having project-based learning as our main focus to try and re-engage and enrich their learning, we also need to meet their other demands. We need to foster within them to independently seek out challenges and persevere through them. We need to develop within them the ability to become lifelong learners. By offering a variety of opportunities, we can help these students become well-rounded individuals.

My Project

My students enjoy reading diverse and different literature. Many of them gravitate toward manga or graphic novels. Others wish to see themselves represented a little more in our small, personal school library. I hope to provide them these books with this small update. The books on this list are personal requests from students: Attack on Titan, The Virals Series, Blue Exorcist, and more.

Our library came into existence from their persistence.

I hope to keep our library growing with their interests.

Books are the pathway to growth. My students like to read graphic novels, manga, mystery just like many young adults. I hope to have many books in our library that will spark their love of reading even if it doesn't seem like hardcore reading.
