Students per Class: 33
Class Description:
I teach in a school that is transitioning to include more and more low-income, special education, and second language students. However, our budget has not adjusted to meet these new needs so we are always on the hunt for ways to not be "victims" of these issues.
Position:
teacher
Needs:
We need technology in order to be and become active, productive citizens of our world. In addition, technology increases attention during lessons, increasing achievement.
My Philosophy:
All students can learn, I just have to find the key!
