My Students

My scholars are International Baccalaureate students at an urban inner-city high school. Our curriculum is both diverse and rigorous. We strive to provide high quality education to students from all walks of life. My classroom is project-based, and scholars lead their own learning with guidance and examples from both me and other professionals in the field. Fulfilling goals set by them for them help my scholars learn the importance of independence, leadership, and free thinking.

Scholars in Humanities classes practice important skills for college and career: reading comprehension, analysis, synthesis, negotiation, and argument.

The class topics today include U.S. Government and Economics, but the skills these scholars develop will go well beyond the classroom to help them become strong citizens tomorrow.

My Project

Many of the projects conducted in our classroom require collaboration, teamwork, and presentation. To accomplish this, we need some basic supplies, as well as materials such as posters and large post-its for presentations. Scholars often work in groups to discuss research and ideas, and then share out to the class. These supplies allow scholars to communicate their learning in creative ways.

This year I want to help scholars push their analysis of economics topics further by challenging them with exciting themes of books like "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" and "Freakonomics".

Discussing these topics will help scholars better understand the world around them by considering the perspective, context, and legitimacy of these topics.
