My Project

The gaming club is a privilege, and our goal is to promote conversation, competition, and sportsmanship. I wanted to create a Co-Ed group and help facilitate conversation , and Peer teaching between our students. Gaming is something the students do on a daily basis, and often their attendance, school work, and mental health suffer due to lack of supervision. My goal is to create a controlled environment where appropriate conversation is encouraged, and participation is based on school attendance, GPA of 2.7 or better, and no behavior infractions. The requested PlayStations will become an incentive for my students. Students that need help with school work will be able to receive tutoring, and I will monitor and reward improvements.

I want to promote an environment where there is no racism, taunting, or bullying where students can learn to mediate issues with each other.
