My Students

I work in a self-contained classroom setting, supporting middle schoolers scoring anywhere from the first to seventh grade math level. My goal year after year is to successfully teach all of the required math standards, while also finding ways to fully support my students who are not quite at grade level. My students love to use technology, so I try to incorporate instructional videos and other online components into my students' learning. I absolutely love what I do, and constantly strive to better my teaching ability by attending professional development tailored to special education and mathematics.

My students are incredibly kind, hardworking, respectful, and have a thirst for knowledge that motivates me to go above and beyond to make their learning environment the best it could be.

I have found over the years that collaboration and the incorporation of technology are both the most motivating factors that drive learning in the classroom. I find that this is especially accurate in the special education setting, as many of my students are visual and kinesthetic learners. This year, I want to make it easier for my students to have quick access to this technology.

My Project

My students and I participate in an algebra curriculum called "Algebra Nation." This website and app is fantastic for my special education students, as it guides them through the algebra curriculum with more of a hands-on learning approach. This curriculum requires technology, which we can access with our set of tablets in the room. However, we have quickly learned that some of the features of this app/website can only be accessed through a standard desktop computer or laptop. Oftentimes, the instructional videos won't play through the small tablets, yet they will on a laptop or desktop computer. However, the desktop computers have been in our classroom for years, and freeze quite often.

I am requesting a new laptop so that my students can access our "Algebra Nation" curriculum, interactive lessons, and assessments.

I am also a traveling teacher this school year, which means I will be in different classrooms throughout the day teaching my classes. Having the ability to move from class to class with the laptop is ideal for my schedule and for my students.
