Proctor High School is an urban, diverse school of 3,000+ students in the heart of Central New York. A typical classroom can have students from Myanmar, Somalia, Bosnia, and Belarus learning side-by-side with students who have never left the state. It makes for quite the interesting teaching and learning experience!
Our English 11 classroom serves students who are just learning English and those who are in Advanced Placement. My students are the offspring of newly arrived refugees and the children of the former mayor.)
Our school is, even by NYS's own calculations, drastically underfunded. The school, built for 2,000 students, is incredibly overcrowded. Teachers share classrooms and students do not have copies of their own textbooks. There is one computer lab to serve the entire student population. Even still, my goal is to make my classroom a safe space where students can reach their fullest potential!
