My Students

Because I teach AP English Literature, AP English Language, and Honors English IV, I ask students to write, type, and get criticisms for what we read in class. My students print up a lot of papers; I proof and review their college essays. Also, I am department chair over a fledgling AP department at my school, and to foster the students we have and attract more, we’ve established an AP S.W.A.G (Students with Academic Gains) Room for students to eat/snack, lounge, de-stress, study, and do homework. Our school is predominantly lower socioeconomic families; yet, they desire the opportunities to soar and make it to college.

My Project

Indeed, projects, assignments, quizzes, and exams are the staple for AP students. In the inner city where my school is located, it is rare to see AP students, much less, see them excited about taking on the leviathan known as AP courses.

As well, my students print papers, projects, college applications, personal statements, resumes and study.

It is because we've seen the passion in these students that we've worked really hard to procure the space, seating, and items for a space for students to print, study, eat/snack, and de-stress; things they cannot do at home. Students have been know to stay in the AP S.W.A.G Room for hours after school because home would not allow them to fully reach their potential.
