My Students

We are an inner city school and my students come to me with all the trauma of lower socioeconomic status individuals. We provide small classroom instruction with a focus on building relationships with the students, providing a safe place for them to express their ideas without judgement.

My students are among the most dis-regulated group in our district and require much more one-on-one attention.

The school is an alternative site for students who struggle with the hectic life in larger schools or needed a smaller environment to avoid troubling situations. We have a large population of special education students and others who require more assistance. Lastly, all the students in my school receive free or reduced lunch.

My Project

It is a struggle to obtain working technology in an alternative environment. Much of what we do have is between 8 and 10 years old. If we want our students to be competitive in the job world then we need to begin educating them in the proper use of more modern forms of technology. The tablets will allow students to venture out to our garden and run actual science experiments on the garden beds. Recording data will be easier without having to worry about papers flying. Students will also be able to share work with me more easily through email or online documents. Finally, translation programs will allow English Language Learners some success while they learn to master their new language, and special needs students can use the tablets to help track their progress and become more proficient with self advocacy. In all, more up to date technology will provide my students with more roads to success.
