Pershing Magnet School West
Hometown:
Chicago
Class Information:
Room Number: 125
Students per Class: 28
Class Description:
The intrinsic personality of the class is one of kindness; however, several students function with little parental involvement and therefore present a more self-reliant and somewhat superior attitude toward their peers, who depend on frequent teacher direction. Others have significant social emotional issues, due to mobility and drug use in their homes, which affects their ability to perform, their behavior, and self-confidence. Flexible groupings, as well as highly engaging independent and cooperative learning experiences, are used to address these instructional needs and social-emotional behaviors.
Position:
Teacher
Needs:
Our class is in desperate need of technology. Many of my students do not have access to computers and printers at home or any type of camera for photography. We need cameras and printers to capture ordinary moments in our lives and to help us illustrate the stories that we write throughout the school year.
My Philosophy:
I believe that every child deserves excellence, whether that means an excellent teacher, parents, materials, or educational experience. I believe that it is important to create a classroom environment that fosters creativity and attends to multiple intelligences. Every child deserves to have his or her voice heard.
