My Project

It's clear both from years of research and my own observations that students learn and work better in small, teacher-led groups. These tools will help me organize instruction around purposeful, differentiated clusters of students, and help foster student independence to move around the room with ease and participate in different center activities.

All students deserve an enriching, joyful, and peaceful learning environment.

For many students, the classroom can be the only source of predictability, trust, and safety.

A student work organizer will help foster student independence, executive functioning, and differentiated instruction. Color coded boxes will make it easy for students to find their group box and access materials. This way, students can clear their desk of piled-up papers and easily find -- and sort -- finished and unfinished work.

Your support will help me create a classroom community that students will remember and cherish for years to come.
