More than half of my students are on an Individualized Education Plan, but we do not let our diagnosis define us. We overcome challenges together and appreciate the uniqueness in every person. In all areas, it is our goal to gear up for success. Students learn goal setting, evaluating their own success, assessing their personal growth, and learning and reflecting on objectives and how to make new goals. Students are set up for success not only in the classroom but for life.
My students are engaged in STEM to master state standards, build social skills, and build awareness of careers.
My Project
My students come from all backgrounds and all abilities. One thing all my students have in common: struggling readers. Students would benefit from high interest readers about bats and dinosaurs. "Super Fast and of Control" is a great book every child can relate to and mystery books will keep students engaged and wanting to read more.
"Summer Lake" and other mystery books will keep students reading, making inferences, and relate books to themselves.
My middle school students are required to read independently every day. My students needs books on their level that are also high interest and age appropriate.
More than three‑quarters 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
