My Students

Every day, the students I work with teach me something about the world and myself. I am constantly reminded of how fortunate I am to participate in the formation of young people that are already expressly dedicated to public service. Since they are students at a magnet high school, they have jumped through a few hoops to get a seat in my class, and they participate with intensity which distinguishes them from students I have worked with in other school communities.

In short, my students rock and I want to do everything I can to support them as they find their voice, take a standpoint, and advocate as an agent of social change.

High school is challenging and adolescence is full of obstacles, so I am compelled to facilitate their self-actualization through academic rigor and individual validation.

My Project

Since all our classes are remote and online, we connect through our shared reading experiences. The students appreciate having a book of their own to hold on to during these challenging times. This book will be an addition to the students personal library and an ex libris will be placed in the book.

Although physically distanced, the students will have a shared adventure in reading young adult genre, coming of age narratives.

Sherman Alexie's book will make an awesome addition to our class Social Justice Book Club reading list because the humor is necessary in the present moment.
