Archbishop Ryan High School
Hometown:
Philadelphia
Class Information:
Room Number: S203
Students per Class: 15-35
Class Description:
I teach two levels of English. One is a College Prep course (2 classes)which tends to be a large class, anywhere from 34-35 students. These students are eager learners who are fairly responsible and highly intelligent. Second is a low level course usually with many learning disabled students and behavioral problems but with a much lower class number (15-18). Many of these students are highly motivated but lack the skills needed to succeed. My job is to give them these tools. Both groups are high energy and lots of fun and both respond better and learn more with integrated technology.
Position:
Teacher
Needs:
I would love to have a more technologically interactive classroom. I would like a smartboard (I already have a projector). I would also like five new computers for the research and project center of the room. i am also in need of storage for the room. The longer I teach the more I accrue.
