My Students

The students in our classroom are young women who care about their grades and are active seekers of knowledge and engagement. Many commute long distances and all are committed to getting as much out of their public education as they can. Many also come from low-income households with parents who care and struggle to cover basic expenses. The girls have lots of responsibilities besides school, including developing their identities and relationships.

We all learn from each other!

Their backgrounds are diverse and their experiences can sometimes make a school day very difficult. Challenges are made and met on a daily basis: sometimes with frustration, sometimes with laughter. I have students who remember every single thing I say (which can be horrifying) and students who need encouragement to speak their mind (which is always worth the effort). It's a social studies class, so knowledgeable discourse is the goal. Their resilience, strength, and humor are an inspiration and a joy.

My Project

The obscure joy of shopping for new school supplies can be tarnished by not knowing what's expected at the beginning of each year, leaving students and their families to ask themselves how to allocate precious funds. I discovered that sometimes the direction to get a notebook and a folder can be overwhelming to financially strapped families trying to get their students a one-system-fits-all-subjects solution.

For our Global Studies classroom I've found the right product for the amount of note-taking and materials organization we use on a daily basis.

I've considered what the students have to carry around every day and found a sturdy, lightweight, unbulky folder. By providing this basic organization tool, we can get to work with no excuses!

This year, I'm adding a composition notebook for each student, which will be kept in class in order to prepare for the new Global Regents' Enduring Issues Essay.
