Alternative setting school helping students learn academically, emotionally, and socially.
Position:
teacher; team leader
Needs:
tablets for teachers, ink for printers, motivational speakers, professional development on restorative justice, addressing emotional and social needs in an alternative setting
My Philosophy:
Students in the alternative setting are not "bad kids" as they are often labeled. They are good kids who make bad choices. Like an opal, the rough edges of these students need to be removed so that the precious student that is underneath the tough exterior can shine.
