My Students

Our school, located in the North Bronx, provides rigorous instruction to 6th through 8th grade students in order to prepare them for high school, college, and career. Being located in a high-risk, low-income area allows us to provide 100% of our students with free breakfast and free lunch on a daily basis. Our students are held to high expectations, including daily school uniform, silent transitions between classes, and unwavering academic rigor across all subjects and grade levels.

"Ms. Regan, when will we ever need to use this again?" My co-teacher, Ms. Karam, and I hear this question a lot, among many others.

Inside our math classroom, the daily goal is to push our students to their maximum potential and help find a connection between math and "the real world." More than half of our 8th grade students are at LEAST two grade levels behind in math, and their state exam is in May. Providing our students with real-world connections and necessary academic tools are two major keys to success in the classroom.

My Project

Math, regardless of differentiation, scaffolding, or provided technology, is a difficult subject for many students to feel successful in. Many students get easily frustrated when they struggle on a task, especially performance tasks or formative assessments in preparation for the State exam.

Incorporating technology into our daily math lessons is imperative for success and conducive to students feeling prepared for high school Algebra.

Our students feel supported and successful when provided with calculators on a daily basis, so they can check their classwork and avoid making careless mistakes. Due to previous grades' use, many students aren't able to use calculators on a daily basis because we no longer have a full classroom set. Our students deserve the best -- and that includes necessary technological tools to help them succeed inside the classroom, so that they can use their knowledge to succeed outside of the classroom.
