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.

Our school's student population is primarily Caucasian and Latino. The programs implemented in the last ten years have 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 student's 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.

My Project

Each spring, my students select a topic related to a global issue. They conduct extensive research and then develop a script for a "TED" talk (we call them "ED" talks). The presentation cart will help students to see their presentation, without taking their eyes off their audience. The HDMI extender lengthens the distance the laptop can be from the projector, giving us more flexibility for the set-up of the TED talk stage and throughout the year. The paper organizer will fit all 5 classes of in-class assignments and help to manage student work. The paper and dividers for lesson and project planning.

Each year I try to make the TED talk experience more realistic for students by transforming our classroom into a TED talk stage; the presentation cart and the HDMI extender will ensure students keep looking forward towards the audience.

With the addition of these items to our classroom we can create a stage that makes students feel comfortable and at ease. Please support my students as they venture outside of their comfort zone and develop a succinct yet powerful talk to present to their peers.
