My students come from diverse backgrounds and some live around the toughest neighborhoods in our state. This will be their first year at our junior high and the time when they will be choosing what path they are going to follow in life. Many of our students are reading and writing below grade level, and if we are not able to reach them, support them, and inspire them with rich instructional materials and strategies, they may not make it through to high school--the current graduation rate in our district is only 68%. I hope to create a learning environment in my classroom where students can come together and discuss important issues, identify the connection between literature and their everyday lives, and recognize the power of education and dedication to achieving their own dreams and giving back to their communities.
