My Students

Our school, a public charter school in Youngstown, Ohio serves students in grades K-8. We provide rigorous academics, fantastic teachers and a safe learning environment. Our goal is to prepare our students for success in high school, in college, and in life. We provide academic opportunities many other schools can not offer, such as the Concept Young Scholars Program, the opportunity to take Spanish or Turkish in middle school, and after school programs such as basketball, Choir, tutoring, and clubs.

Located in an inner-city neighborhood, a majority of students are low-income.

All students receive free breakfasts and free lunches. Despite this, they are motivated to learn.

My Project

Our school has been teaching our students remotely since the beginning of the year. We are using a software program to monitor the students activities and make conference calls to them for live, whole group lessons and small group intervention lessons. During these calls, I am unable to see my students faces because I am presenting classwork on my laptop. An extra monitor would allow me to have my work on one monitor and their faces on the other -- so I can see them and see if they are raising their hands for help, are trying to ask a question, or if they look confused.
