My Students
I teach Biology and Physiology in a suburban neighborhood. My classes are populated by college-bound students who are engaged, community-minded, energetic, and creative. I have taught for twenty-eight years and honestly, still, feel excited to go to school every day because of the energy and enthusiasm they bring. My students are motivated and excited to learn; however, the school and classrooms are in need of updating.
I teach in a windowless, concrete classroom built in 1974.
Our school is bursting at the seams with about fifteen hundred students on a campus designed to house twelve hundred students. Our school is also old and cannot support the technology we currently have, let alone the new technology we want to bring in. While my students are bright and future-focused, their daily surroundings make it difficult to envision a career in the modern world.
My Project
Distance learning is a challenge for lab based science classes. The novelty has worn off and students are missing the fun of being at school. By providing lab packets for my students, we can do something besides stare at a computer all day.
Students will be able to map receptors in their skin and explore their sensitivity to temperature and touch.
Not only that, they will get to involve their family as this activity requires lab volunteers. My hope is they can connect to the material we are studying and have fun with their family at the same time.
More than a third of 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
