My Students

At my school, we empower our students with a message that we will not allow them to fail. We make sure we use every resource at our disposal to let our students know they are seen and loved. We have a pretty significant ELL population at my school who have a unique set of learning hurdles to overcome.

Our students deserve a one to one ratio with their teachers but in today's climate it is almost impossible to achieve.

I teach 5 Exploratory Spanish classes a day of approximately 30 6th and 7th graders each and though I wish I could take time out for each one EVERY day, there are days where individualized instruction for everyone just is not possible. My hope with this grant to fund a new way of delivering instruction in my classroom, I am able to give me students the attention they need and deserve.

My Project

As a result of the pandemic, our students are struggling to stay on target more than ever before. I have recently been doing research on Mastery Based Classrooms and schools. These schools and classrooms are unique in the sense that the students have control of their own learning pace through classroom centers. Each unit starts out with a video recorded and uploaded by their own teacher that introduces the unit and walks the students through the lesson. Once the students have watched the video and answered a few "exit ticket" questions showing they have understood the content, the are able to move on the a different area of the classroom to work on applying what they have learned through a series of assignments and projects to show mastery.

This second area is where the teacher will spend most of their time, working one on one with each student to make sure they understand the content and helping them with mastery.

When the student has shown mastery on two projects/assignments, they will move on to the assessment center will they will be tested on their mastery of the standard. If they pass, they have the option of starting on the next standard by returning to the lesson center OR they may return to center number two and work as a "tutor" to help students who may still be struggling. If they do not show mastery, they return to station two to figure out where they struggled and to fix any mistakes that may have kept them from showing mastery.

This grant will ensure my students are equipped with the best tools to help them with mastering content, as well as tools that will help them overcome anxiety while returning to learning, and stay focused on the task at hand.
