"In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or back into safety."- A. Maslow
My curriculum is filled with opportunities to challenge all achievement groups and designed to develop independent learners who enjoy stepping forward into growth.
Our school's student population is primarily Caucasian and Latino. The programs implemented in the last ten years have truly changed the culture. Lawn areas have been transformed into edible gardens, complete with an amphitheater and stage. Homework Lab and Small Learning Communities are in place to ensure no student's progress or lack of progress is unseen. Clusters for juniors and seniors direct students' pathways, aiding in post-secondary exploration. The possibilities for faculty and students are endless. I am proud to be part of this phenomenal school and community.
My Project
The era of bluetooth headphones has ushered in a new problem- students constantly connected to their music on their phones. I have been successful in collecting phones at the beginning of the class period but patrolling for air-pods or other brands of wireless headphones has been exhausting. I would like to pilot these "phone shields" which blocks bluetooth compatibility. As students get ready to develop their TED talk scripts, watch TED talks and rehearse- their full attention is required.
The Polaroid film will be used to document student's accomplishment of completing their first TED talk.
So often high school students don't bring evidence of their work home to share with family and friends. It is my hope their TED talk experience will be a highlight of their high school career. The combination of these products will provide a distraction free environment and allow students to reflect on their accomplishment.
Half of students from low‑income households
