My Students

Who are my students? The majority of my students are coming from low-income households where English is not the main language spoken. Because their parents sometimes have multiple jobs and are not around, my students do not necessarily receive the educational support that they need. Without support, they have fallen behind in math and English.

Students at my school start 9th grade feeling defeated.

Many of them have not been successful in a math or English class since elementary school. However, they finally receive the support they need at my school. We provide them with many opportunities to get the help they need. Once they start taking these opportunities, you can see their fixed mindset about learning change into a growth mindset.

I am a proud 9th-grade math teacher. It is amazing to see so many of my students start school at a 4-5th grade level and end up passing Algebra 1 on their first try.

My Project

With this Surface Pro, I will be able to teach my students from home easier.

I can share my screen with my students and be able to interact with them on the spot with just the touch of a finger.

Imagine a student sitting at home, trying to engage with my lesson about simplifying algebraic expressions. I share my screen with the class. On the screen, there is an example to help them learn the material, but that student sitting at home still doesn't understand. After the student tells me that they don't understand; instead of explaining it again, I can use this Surface Pro to annotate the example shown with the stylus right on the screen. I'll even be able to instantly use colors, to highlight the part that was causing confusion.

The Surface Pro will also allow me to save the examples and annotations, so that I can share them with the class. If students need to refer back, or were absent, they will still have access to the notes.

Once we are back in the classroom, I can continue to use the device to mirror my screen on the front board and teach as I walk around the classroom.
