My Students

"In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or back into safety."- A. Maslow My curriculum is filled with opportunities to challenge all achievement groups and designed to develop independent learners who enjoy stepping forward into growth.

The environment of the campus is ever-improving.

As a graduate of this school, I am proud of the learning environment and support for students. The programs implemented in the last ten years has truly changed the culture. Lawn areas have been transformed into edible gardens, complete with an amphitheater and stage. Homework Lab and Small Learning Communities are in place to ensure no students progress or lack of progress is unseen. Clusters for juniors and seniors direct students pathways aiding in post secondary exploration. The possibilities for faculty and students are endless. I am proud to be part of this phenomenal school and community. Casa Grande is a very diverse school, students understand expectations and can thrive if open to opportunities provided.

My Project

The stylus will give students the tool to harness the power of the iPad as a device for personalized learning. Students will use the stylus to annotate text with marginalized questions, impressions and symbols. This reveals students' unfolding ideas as they think through the text or issue text is raising. Additionally, students will be introduced to Sketchnoting (apps like Paper53, Explain Everything or Notability) to document ideas from a video, reading, lecture or experience. Students will then make connections with the content in a visual way to transform note taking. This medium will allow an integration and development of student ideas along with the content. Lastly, students can use the stylus pens to transform their learning from a game-like feel on the iPad to an academic feel; and allow students to write handwritten notes on the iPad with more precision.

Each student having access to a stylus in the classroom will stimulate individual creativity and provide more options for personalized learning and retention.

Students will be able to visually identify and make relevant connections all while improving upon 21st century skills.
