My Students

My students come from an array of different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds in an urban environment. They strive to become artists and musicians who will lead our entertainment industry one day. They are highly academically motivated in their learning, as they attend an arts-performing arts high school in which they have specific majors of study in the arts. They are also college-oriented and so choose rigorous preparatory coursework such as College Board-level Advanced Placement classes. They also enjoy expressing their knowledge and their art through classroom discussions and debates, group work, and hands-on experiments and projects.

They need your help.

Our school serves students in grades 9-12 and provides rigorous academic and artistic practices. As a result, we are consistently one of the top-performing schools in New York City. Our goal is to prepare our students for success in high school and college, and our alumni have gone on to schools such as NYU, Columbia, Hunter College, and Stony Brook University. Some even go on to become musicians on Broadway, at Lincoln Center, and even at television studios.

My Project

Every day, I strive to teach not only the required curriculum but the real-world connections and data needed to fully explain these science subjects to artistically inclined students. My goal is not just to have my students excel in the classroom but to develop into knowledgeable citizens ready to make an influential impact on the world.

With the technology of Amazon Fire tablets we will be able to provide opportunities, multiple entry points and activities which can be completed by students at all different skill levels and learning styles.

In addition, all tablet devices will be utilized as interactive tools (smartboard feature) in all classrooms and laboratory rooms. Students tend to enjoy the active learning style and perform extremely well on assessments given to them. I will also be able to engage my students with multimedia experiences using the drawing tablet, speakers and microphones, which are extremely appealing to the social media generation. This opportunity given to my students will engage them mentally and physically throughout the year.

Ms. Sheikh Fiorello H Laguardia High School Grades 9-12
