My Students

Currently, I am the computer science specialist in the school district and I help teach a STEM class at the junior high. The STEM class is full of students that love to learn and engage with interesting projects and assignments. Unlike many other classes, it does not take much to get students involved to work on the assignments provided. These students are exceptional at problem solving and are exciting to learn and do hard things.

Our school has grown a lot, so the STEM class is not taught in a traditional classroom and it is missing several teaching resources.

As of right now, the students are taught in the innovation center of our campus which in some ways lacks the materials needed to teach effectively. The class would appreciate any help to provide the materials needed to give the students the best experience possible.

My Project

Due to COVID-19, being in school for some students has been difficult with quarantining. Now that attendance is getting more regular, many students are excited and ready to learn, especially in the STEM class that I help teach in. These students really want to be there and to learn new things in the STEM field. Right now we are missing important resources for instructing students. Two things that would really help are a whiteboard and headphones.

A whiteboard would help display our discussions and the headphones will help students watch instructional videos on the laptops we provide.

These resources will help students be able to engage with all of the tasks that we have. Right now for discussions, we lack a place to record them which is why a whiteboard would be really helpful. Headphones will also help so students can watch and listen to instructions on their own at their own pace.
