My Students

Beginning our new year on a different campus, the students at EBIA are beyond excited to get new opportunities to take lead of their learning in the classroom. Students come from various portions of Oakland as well as surrounding towns in the bay area.

The students focus on becoming useful members of a technology-based society though community connected projects.

We are a diverse school, both socioeconomically and racially, and embrace those differences in the Spanish classroom.

Specifically in Spanish, students work 90% in the target language, finding meaningful ways to learn about Latin history and culture while also making connections to their own first language and traditions.

By making engaging lessons and projects, we aim to have students learn Spanish in exciting ways. These students are at a STEAM school, where each student has a Chromebook to use during school hours. Lastly, the students are in a student-led classroom, where I give them freedom to build upon their previous knowledge with new ideas.

My Project

As an advisor, I am able to meet with students every morning prior to classes, providing structured time for different activities (mindfulness, tutoring, test prep, restorative circles, planner checks, etc). The same students spend time in my room during ILT (Independent Learning Time), where many of them are learning basic study skills, organization, and key terms necessary for surviving as an independent in a 21st century globalized world.

This program would allow students to prepare for numerous upcoming standardized tests, and will do so far enough in advance to make significant growth in student scores.

Having simple access to these resources would make it easy to push students to strive for success, and show them their own progress as they do so.
