My Students

I educate a community of diverse learners in Coney Island, NY. We are currently using both remote and in-person learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I teach three classes (2 in-person and one remote) and work with many other students through my involvement with the student government and Leader In Me.

My 7th grade and 8th-grade math classes are ICT classes with 12 students with an IEP.

Many students in both of my classes struggle with mathematical concepts and applying them to solve real-world problems. Living in a low-income urban environment hinders their ability to experience activities that children their age in other cities have experienced. Fortunately, many of them were able to obtain technology from our school to able to participate in remote lessons; however, many of them are struggling because nothing can replace having myself and my co-teachers working with them directly.

My Project

Fostering collaboration amongst students is a challenge during a pandemic. Our students are used to doing group work while sitting directly next to each other. While technology has allowed for collaboration while learning remotely, in the classroom setting I would like to give my students a break from the screen but still, allow them together while keeping them safe. Using Post-It's and dry erase materials will help them share their ideas and learn from each other without needing to be in direct contact. This will also allow for safe movement within the classroom so that students will have the opportunity to leave their seats.
