My Students
I work with students that come from under served communities that are furthest from educational justice and provide them with social and emotional support throughout the day. I also work with families and community members in providing after school enrichment that is full of physical fitness and STEM programming that keeps both their minds and bodies healthy. I’m the leader and founder of the school’s Black Family Council.
My goal is to always serve my students and their families to the best of my abilities, and to develop and support positive behavior in all of our students.
I teach and interact with over 400 kindergarten through 5th grade students during the course of a week, so every day is a new and different experience. We are a school with students who come from a variety of economic backgrounds.
We have implemented a School-Wide Positive Behavior and Intervention Support (PBIS) plan over the last 4 years, "Check-In/Check-Out" (CICO). Through CICO we work to encourage positive behaviors in our students and develop the social skills that will help them achieve their future goals. Our students’ confidence thrives when their social skills are developed in a positive way.
My students are awesome!
My Project
All students in our school will benefit from this camera. The images and stories the camera will tell through photos in the school newspaper, photos in the yearbook, and photos included in project materials created in desktop publishing will positively affect each and every student in our school. This camera will provide images and stories that the school, especially the students, can read or view and remember with pride.
This Canon camera allows the students to learn all aspects of graphic publication, photography, and photojournalism.
Students will have have the ability to learn about aperture, shutter speed, focal length, and ISO sensitivity. They will also learn about photo composition and editing images. Students will learn how to master photo imaging to tell stories in their publications about their school.
In this world of representing a school and its heritage through visual images, the ability to use a camera, to produce a professional product, and create photojournalistic articles is essential.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
