Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My fifth grade gifted and talented students are a wonderfully diverse group of students at a Title I school. My students work very hard and like to have fun! Students are actively engaged and on task when they are participating in well organized and delivered instruction. The students have been incredibly positive and resilient returning to in-person learning. My gifted students love doing hands-on creative projects and using technology.

My Project

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 that I am requesting will be used to help complete PD360 courses and provide me with savvy tech features that I can use to lift student achievement. Our district offers professional development through PD360, which is an online learning community. I would like to take PD360 courses on implementing various reading strategies. I would like to create more choice work, but I need the tech resources to help research how to create and develop literacy station work for students. This ties into my professional development goals of creating student-centered project work. As a teacher, this is really a skill I need to learn more about before I can implement it in my classroom next year. I want to be able to learn more about the options I can give my students. As a teacher, I never want to stop learning how to make my class more like the real world and give my students options. Going back for professional development on various instructional strategies will help increase student achievement. I want to be able to learn specific strategies that will help ALL students increase their knowledge base in reading.

As a teacher, I never want to stop learning how to make my class more independent thinkers.

Going back for professional development of explicit reading strategies will show in my students' future work.
