I teach young adolescents, 13-15 years old, in eighth grade. The middle school's enrollment is about 600 students. We are a low-socioeconomic, Title I school. My students come to me with a diversity of backgrounds. My students are merged into our middle school from two smaller elementary schools. My students live in rural communities. Some of my students come from homes that don't have access to the internet. A majority of my students are being raised in single-parent homes or by their grandparents.
My students are eager to learn in a fun, motivated, and caring environment with the use of technology.
I have the opportunity to teach all levels of students within my eighth-grade classes. I begin my day with an upper-level group of students that take high school Algebra in the eighth grade. My second block is a co-taught classroom, where I have 25 students with different needs. Of my 25 students, 21 of them have some type of accommodations that have to be met. My final block class consists of average students that take the required Pre-Algebra class in eighth grade. My students are eager to be back in school and to learn.
My Project
The presentation cart in the project, Teacher on the Move, will allow just that. With trying to teach face to face, the teachers have been forced to move from room to room in order to keep the students safer. The cart provides many options such as a place for my laptop and ipad. By being able to transport my laptop, I can easily transition from class to class.
A presentation cart makes my traveling curriculum easier and more efficient to deliver to my students.
The cart has an enclosed storage area to place my materials so that they don't fall off while being transported down the hall. The more I am organized, the more my students will be organized and receive a quality education.
