My Students
My students are a group of enthusiastic learners that are eager to read, write, and share their voices with the world. My students represent a variety of racial, cultural, ethnic, and linguistic identities, as well as learning styles. My classroom is a space in which all of these identities are valued and all learning styles are recognized and supported. Students spend more time in my classroom than anywhere else, especially due to the impacts of Covid-19. Our classroom is like our sanctuary--holding resources that make learning possible, fun, and safe. Each learner takes responsibility for the shared space and all that is in it.
My Project
I understand education as a mechanism for emboldening students academically, socially, culturally, and creatively. As a literacy educator, and Workshop Model teacher, I believe that it is my responsibility to demonstrate high-level reading and writing skills live, inviting students to be inside of the reading and writing processes on a daily basis.
A document camera will make literacy instruction accessible for all of my students.
A functioning document camera makes it possible for students to join me on the page of a book, or a notebook, as I read, and think aloud before them in a safe way. By being a part of this literacy experience, students are then better set up to transfer their learning into their own reading and writing lives.
Recently, our beautiful document camera stopped working, making literacy instruction so much harder and also a health risk. Teaching in the time of Covid-19 already creates so many obstacles for teachers, so please help me to eliminate one more, and bring literacy back to life, by helping us to replace a key resource in our classroom.
More than half of students from low‑income households
