My Students

Our unique Pre-k through 12 environment is the only one of its kind in NYC. Our school serves a diverse population which helps to nurture students of all ages throughout their school career. Our school also serves a wide population of our borough's students because unlike most neighborhood schools, we are not zoned. While most of our population is from one region, our students represent a variety of ethnic, socio-economic, and racial backgrounds, making ours a truly diverse learning environment.

Currently, the availability of up to date, working technology in school is a challenge due to a limited budget and not enough staffing to maintain the computers.

My Project

Because of our unique school set up, my students do not live in the same neighborhoods and cannot easily get together on projects or for collaboration. The bulk of work like this is done during class time and in school. Much of what we do in class is collaborative and uses Google Classroom to interact, share, edit, and learn. Having a full class set of Chromebooks each day will help them become stronger writers as they share and correct each other's work. It will help them with presentations as they use Google Slides to put together multi - media presentations with their learning cohorts, and it will help them bring together a wealth of resources during Socratic discussions as well as editing and publishing work. Right now, we share one cart of 24 computers with at least 4 other classes. Even 24 is not enough for my largest class of 33. Through grants I've been able to purchase 8 Chromebooks so far. Hoping this next project helps add to that number. Slow and steady but the students win in the end.
