My Students

My students are a diverse group of bright young scholars from all over the NYC area, most of whom are first- and second-generation Americans, attending a competitive Title I school in Brooklyn, NY. Our school uses the International Baccalaureate's diploma program as a way to develop students' abilities across disciplines at a very high level and foster well-rounded individuals. We are an "IB For All" school which means that we fully cover the cost of the IB program - usually only available to private school students or a select group in public schools - so that all our students can achieve college readiness. My students often balance rigorous academics with a lot of responsibilities at home supporting their families all while maintaining a positive attitude and desire to learn.

My Project

In September, we are starting our FIRST computer science class at The Brooklyn Latin School. We are using the Exploring Computer Science curriculum which emphasizes both plugged and unplugged activities so students not only learn coding but the fundamental science of computing. This course emphasizes collaboration and exploration, risk taking, journaling, and problem solving. I am looking to make group sets of supplies like white boards, scissors, markers, etc. to help foster creativity while students are working together in groups and be able to make their learning visual. These simple tools can help my students work together in complex ways!
