My Students

My students need extra support. Students at this school are hard working learners. They may come from homes that are struggling. More than 3/4 of them are on free or reduced lunch, but that doesn’t stop them from wanting an education. The students are multiracial, including 40% white, 31% Hispanic, 23% Black, 3% Asian, and 3% combination of races. This creates an environment of acceptance and tolerance for all. My challenge is to level the playing field, so that students with less opportunities are able to compete academically with those who have more opportunities.

Creating learning experiences for these students is the best part of my job; the joy on their faces as they are discovering something new and integrating knowledge into their “personal toolkits” is priceless.

In my learning environment, I endeavor to set them up to win in an environment that is inviting and comfortable. Sometimes that means school supplies, mending clothing, a bandaid, or a kind word. I believe this will not only help the students focus, but will also produce a higher level of work from the student. Teaching these young learners is a privilege.

My Project

My school is interested in starting a news broadcast that will start every day off with information about our school. We will need a green screen, tripod, microphones and props to help us get started. Students will be performing the news, scheduling, activities, lunch and any other information needed for the day. Students will be coming in before school starts to create the daily news.

Our school wants to get involved in creating a news cast to stay updated with information about our school activities and functions.

This will be a great way to keep students involved in school activities. Students will be working with each other on the daily news; recording, writing, speaking and directing. The set up can also be used as a photo booth for many school functions like fall festival, monsters mash, dances and graduations. Students will learn and love to make news cast.
