My Project
I love that my students come to class with curiosity, energy, and a willingness to engage even when the material is challenging. They ask questions, make connections, and constantly remind me why teaching is such a meaningful profession. Many of them juggle responsibilities outside of school, so I work hard to make each class period count.
The resources in this project will directly support their learning by helping me stay more organized, efficient, and responsive.
A planner will allow me to keep lessons aligned and well-prepared, ensuring every class is purposeful and on track. Teacher notepads will help me quickly jot down observations, student needs, and follow-up tasks so no detail falls through the cracks. A tablet will make it easier to manage grading, access digital materials, and give real-time feedback, especially when I’m moving around the classroom or working outside contracted hours.
With these tools, I’ll be better equipped to create high-quality lessons and support student growth,
