Hi! I teach an amazing group of sixth, seventh and eighth grade, gifted and talented students at a high poverty middle school. I am constantly impressed by their hard work and determination to succeed academically and personally.
One of my previous students was recently the valedictorian of her graduating class and is currently studying at Yale.
I believe that science should always be taught in a hands-on and exciting way, and my students love it! Wouldn't it be great to have a positive impact on these great minds?
My Project
At BCPS we focus on literacy! Battle Creek Public Schools are making it a priority that all students engage in reading during every class, every day and these books will create a more diverse opportunity in their selection of reading materials.
Students are able to self-select books to read in small groups; therefore, I selected three books of each title.
Where I selected twenty books of a few titles, we will read together in one large book study.
Students need to have several options when choosing books to read throughout their learning experiences.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
