My Students
I teach at a rural elementary school in Central Florida. I am fortunate enough to work with a diverse group of students who present me with new experiences every day! My students come from a variety of social/emotional, economic, and behavioral backgrounds. My students come to school every day eager to learn and become leaders.
Through empowerment, my students are able to take ownership of their feelings, goals, and learning in ways that will enrich their educational experience for the rest of their lives!
In our classroom, I incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, alternative seating, and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met in the manner most conducive to their learning style. Each child is an individual with amazing potential waiting to be unlocked!
My Project
With this project, we will be able to set up a classroom economy system in which my leaders can earn "Leader Loot" by completing classroom job duties, displaying the 7 Habits, following SOPs, demonstrating growth on different assessments and other various methods.
This project will allow my leaders the opportunity to learn about financial literacy through a classroom economy, as well as increase classroom participation, classwork completion and encourage appropriate behaviors.
Students will have the opportunity to trade in their "Leader Loot" for the items requested in this project. By focusing on the positive behaviors rather then negative it will encourage students to self monitor and motivate them to be active in their classroom.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
