My Students

My students are members of a school that specializes in building community and enriching the lives of its students. Each day they step foot on campus, they know that they are loved, respected, and cared for by all teachers and faculty. That is why they arrive to school an hour before it starts and remain several hours after it has ended.

All of them have aspirations of changing the world and have committed to doing it by investing in their learning first.

They are passionate, creative, and resourceful problem solvers who persevere through challenges. Instead of viewing their failures as minor setbacks, they see it as an opportunity to learn from their mistakes. These life-long learners are a force to be reckoned with- a force that constantly inspires me to be better.

My Project

My students love sharing the knowledge they've learned with one another. Whether it be their mastery of solving multi-step equations or their proficiency in connecting the content learned in class to real-life problems, my students are eager to demonstrate it all. While their school issued Chromebooks provide them with equitable access to instruction, it limits the opportunities for students to learn from each other in real time.

The implementation of a user-friendly device like the iPad will provide students with a first-hand experience that shows how their peers learn.

It will be utilized in daily instruction as students volunteer to solve various problems individually and as groups. Students will present their discoveries to the class step-by-step via the Explain Everything app. This is especially useful for students who have varied learning styles because they'll learn various strategies to solve the same problem from their peers.
