When looking in my classroom, you will see the smiling faces of students who feel safe and respected, and who are ready to take on rigorous academic risks within the community we have built. What you may not see is that the majority of students in my classroom live a life where they struggle with high poverty rates, food insecurity, and trauma. My students have overcome more challenges in their lives than most can imagine, but are still thriving and ready to learn!
It is essential for me to learn new skills so that I can become the best teacher I can be for them!
My Project
I'm a teacher but I still LOVE learning! Especially now, as teachers are navigating new ways to become effective online instructors, it is so important to continue learning new skills & strategies to teach students!
Read Alouds are a major component of my virtual teaching, and this professional development focuses on using Read Alouds to enhance comprehension skills, build vocabulary, and develop students’ love of reading!
These skills will be able to be applied to both my virtual teaching and future in classroom teaching!
Thank you for any contribution to this project! I can not do this on my own, but I know that the knowledge I gain from this course will have a direct impact on my teaching and the growth of all of my students!
