My Students

"Economically Challenged Yet Passionate About Going to College!" My students are some of the best students a teacher could ask for. They are so well mannered and they appreciate a classroom culture with structure, discipline, high expectations, and tons of "Motherly Love". I work with the AVID 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students that mainly come from well educated homes, but may face some economic disadvantages. What is AVID? AVID means Advance Via Individual Determination. Regardless of their life circumstances, AVID students overcome obstacles and achieve success. They graduate and attend college at higher rates, but more importantly, they can think critically, collaborate, and set high expectations to confidently conquer the challenges that await them. With all the odds against them, they come to school everyday with positive attitudes, a willingness to learn, and a passion for going to college!

My Project

This project will help to encourage more academic conversation, collaboration groups, and student-centered activity due to students being more organized with keeping up with course materials. These are just a few of the things you would be able to see in my AVID classroom. Students will be able to work together to master new content through peer to peer tutoring. Students will help each other ask questions that go beyond memorization and promote higher-level thinking while having academic conversations. This would allow students to be successful in their core classes, but more recognizable when it comes to being placed in honors or advanced placement courses. This project will help to move my students on the path of being recognized as honors or AP students no matter the challenges they may face in their lives.
