My Project

Our students are constantly challenging us to engage them in within our classes.

The light covers, timer, whiteboard eraser, and other items will make a difference in our students’ learning by providing real time and materials to display our thoughts and processes visually.

They will be able to see what others are thinking and communicating without having to feel isolated. Sharing the ideas within the lessons on the board will be an effective method to increase their questioning and discussions.

Our goal for this project is to continuously use the materials within our health classes to support student engagement through learning. The hopes are to keep the lessons, student-led, and these resources will assist in that.

Our students are special due to their resilience in challenging times and I only hope this is one small way we can help them come together.
