I commit to learning for all. There are always varied abilities and various styles of learning in each classroom. I need to reach my advanced students as well as students that require more attention and support to continue progressing forward. All students deserve the best education possible.
I have a class of 24 students who live in a relatively stable suburban area.
The SES levels are as diverse as the learners in my class. Most students read well and and understand 2nd grade math concepts. I have about 3 students that struggle but they continue progressing with support.
It is exciting to work with these students. They want to learn and get excited to learn information from the teacher, books, computers, or any other sources. They get excited to share the learning with others. I want to keep this excitement for learning burning.
My Project
Chrome books will help me meet the needs of various levels of learners. I meet with small groups of children that have specific skill or concept deficiencies and meet with students that are at similar levels to try and continue moving academic progress forward. The chrome books give students a center to work on reading and math programs that are specific to their area of need. I also have students that have difficulty with reading and writing and require a special accommodation to have text read to them and convert speech to text. I am needing the program Read & Write Google to help support my strugglers. Having the chrome books will give them the opportunity to access all these programs in the classroom.
In the 20th century, illiterates were those who could not read.
In the 21st century, illiterates will be those who have not learned to learn and continue their learning beyond the K-12 system. Fostering and fueling the love of learning now and what that looks like will create literate people in the future. Let's give students the tools to continue learning.
