My Students
I teach at an amazing school full of diversity. We have over seven hundred students and over one hundred are English as a second language students. One hundred are Advanced Program students, along with a robust regular education program and special needs program. We call ourselves "The Greatest School on Earth," and we truly are! I teach our Digital Learning Lab, where students not only learn computer skills, but they participate in project-based learning. I get to teach all of our amazing students, either in a group setting, small groups, or individually. I am blessed to teach all of our students!
I want all of the students that enter my room to have amazing experiences because they are amazing and exceptional students!
My Project
I love this books series about Stella Diaz. She represents so many of our ESL (English as a Second Language) students. She has something to say, but she often has trouble saying it. She’s shy and sometimes she stumbles over English words. Her family moved from Mexico to the United States when she was a baby. As Stella moves through school, she experiences successes that helps her confidence to slowly build. She makes new friends, speaks up for herself, and eventually participates in a spelling bee in front of the whole class.
I want our ESL students to see themselves in 'Stella' and know they can be confident and speak up for themselves!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
