Add Me as a Friend!
Nettleton Elementary School
Class Information:
Room Number: 13
Students per Class: 30
Class Description:
I teach gifted in grades 5th and 6th. Our gifted program is an enrichment program. Students come to my classroom for 5 hours a week in order to participate in learning experiences that are qualitiatively different than those in their regular class.
Position:
teacher
Needs:
Updated technology is a pressing need. Having access to new software and technology would be an excellent way to differentiate my class from the regular class.In order for our students to compete with students from more affluent areas, I am seeking help from outside sources because gifted classes do not get any additional funding. Although we are expected to create much more complex products, we receive no additional funding..
