My Students

Our students have been working on developing growth mindsets and I love to watch when they become so proud of themselves for not giving up and conquering something they have been struggling with. They are learning resiliency and it shows.

My Project

Many students in our school are struggling daily with persevering through the school day. Having a Makerspace with engaging materials will allow students to learn to push through struggles to create and learn through personalized experiences.

Makerspaces offer a safe space for students to fail allowing them to develop growth mindsets.

They also provide students with the opportunity to make their own decisions, a key component of Social-Emotional Learning. Students will be able to collaborate with peers and synergize, allowing them to develop communication skills, which we find that they are missing.
