My students come both from homes in which education is valued and supplemented and homes where it is a struggle to get daily living minimums achieved. They are bright and curious and ready to absorb and attack any challenge I might have. Some have a lot of technology support at home while others do not have any. It is a very diverse population. Over the three years that I am lucky to have them, I am able to take their basic experiences and broaden their world through extending their learning not only in math but in all the learning disciplines. We do a lot of project based learning so that they can get the real world experience of solving problems and making connections by integrating math and other disciplines. We use a lot of technology so that they will be comfortable to utilize the tools for learning and living and not have technology as a play thing or just as an internet encyclopedia. Learning is a lifelong gift of joy I wish to instill in all of my students.
