All children can learn if strongly supported and enthusiastically encouraged. I believe when a learning environment with high expectations of achievement is introduced, perpetuated by the classroom teacher and supported by the school and community, students cultivate an "I CAN do it" attitude and perform to and beyond expectations despite challenges they may face. As a teacher in a high poverty public urban school, I am challenged to develop and foster a high expectation/high achievement learning environment with children who may have been conditioned to believe that they aren't capable of high achievement because of special needs or conditions of poverty. With resources, encouragement, and affirmation, I strive to build the efficacy my students need to succeed. Encouragement and affirmation are abundant in my classroom, but resources are not! Your support in helping change that is very much appreciated!
