I am extremely excited to begin teaching First Grade at a school whose staff shares my vision of education. Renaissance is a school focused on students learning collaboratively from each other and through multiple modalities. Our students come from the surrounding neighborhood which has a high poverty rate and one of the highest drop-out rates in the city. We are committed to creating a rigorous environment in which students feel safe and supported so that they can do their best learning. Our classrooms are filled with student voices, and our hallways proudly display student artwork. One of the biggest challenges our school faces is a severe lack of classroom technology. Currently, my personal laptop will be the only technology available to me in my classroom next year. It can be extremely difficult to engage all learners in a lesson if they can't see the materials! A document camera and projector would solve this problem.
