My Students
My incredible students in lower Manhattan come from all five boroughs, from various cultural identities, and from various economic backgrounds. Nearly half of my students quality for free/reduced-price lunch, one quarter of my students have IEPS, and one tenth of my students are ELL.
I believe that students learn best when provided with an authentic learning experience that enables them to construct their own meaning, author their own inquiry, and develop critical thinking skills.
Students must build their researcher identity.
My Project
The COVID led Educational Revolution has begun. With new technology of an upgraded microphone and a new quality camera, the level of the synchronous class meetings and the asynchronous recordings will enhance the ongoing work of the students. Mostly, the students will use this new technology to create and record podcasts that explore the civic needs of the neighborhood and the social action required to make changes.
Today, the classroom knows no boundaries.
With the new technology, our world expands and welcomes us to explore our community civically engaged.
The world of education is changing. New technology is needed for my students to meet the demands this school brings. Please help us help our community.
Half 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
