My students are from a small community with high expectations, but limited resources. Students are expected to look beyond the classroom and into the world to develop solutions to everyday problems. Students take on this challenge with rigor and purpose in developing projects that address issues in their families, communities, state, and nation. They are the solution seekers of the future and deserve all the support they can get.
I endeavor to make learning experiences in the classroom both enjoyable and memorable.
By providing students with the opportunity to take their learning beyond the classroom and developing partnerships with community stakeholders, I can provide the best learning environment possible. Such experiences not only improve the livelihood of the students themselves, but also improve their families and the community in which they live.
My Project
My students are learning to become teachers. As part of this process, they are expected to develop lessons that are relevant to all students in the classroom regardless of their needs. My students must evaluate the challenges that limit successful learning and determine how best to address those challenges.
As part of the teacher cadet curriculum, students work with a diverse group of learners and must be able to create a respectful classroom, and they must be able to successfully determine how individual needs affect the learning process.
By providing books that illustrate diverse groups of people, my students will be able to develop lessons that enhance the classroom experience.
