My classes run anywhere from 20 students to three students. Some of my classes are whole group instruction and some are individual instruction incoporating the computer and books.
Position:
Librarian/ Language Arts
Needs:
The last time we had money for technology was in 2000. We received new computers to go with the new school as well as small NETTV for the computers. Now I rely more and more on using the internet and computer to deliver my lessons and the small NETTV is so small and only one student can interact with the computer. I want the whole class to be involved in my lessons.
My Philosophy:
I believe all students deserve a right to a high quality education which is engaging and prepares them to enter a world filled with technology.
