My Students

My students are representative of a typical, rural community. Most of them are on free or reduced-price lunch, as our school is a Title One school. Our school system is an integral pillar of the community because our students depend so heavily on how the school can help them in various areas of their life.

Our students do not let their circumstances determine their life choices; instead, they come to school ready to learn so that they can make a difference in the world.

My students believe in the power of education and have seen it affect change in their lives and in the lives of other people they know. I am encouraged every day by their hard work and endurance.

My Project

Being able to attend the digital institute that Teacher's College is hosting in December would be wonderful. I would like to be able to provide new and exciting literacy activities through digital media while my students and I are adapting to the changes facing education in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The Reading and Writing Project through Teacher's College is always at the forefront of progress in the areas of literacy, and literature and this institute is no exception.

I want to be able to continue to spark a love for reading and writing in the hearts and minds of my students, no matter what challenges we face next fall.

Being able to participate in this institute would enable me to grow in knowledge as a teacher, and to be able to assist my students in the best way possible moving forward.
