My Project

A dry-erase kidney table will maximize classroom space and make group work easy. It will also enable me to meet with students one-on-one or in small groups and facilitate active learning where every student can brainstorm, work to solve problems, and collaborate.

Special needs children are often overwhelmed by the difficulties they face in a group-learning environment.

At the kidney table, my students will be less apprehensive and ask for help when they need it. I want to help my young scholars develop the strategies and skills they need to succeed in middle school and beyond. My goal is that they rise above their learning disabilities and pursue and attain their personal and professional goals and excellence.
