Add Me as a Friend!
Palmyra High School
Hometown:
Taylor
Class Information:
Room Number: 102
Students per Class: 92
Class Description:
My class sizes range from 12-25. My student population consists of high achieving students, 3 sport athletes to the lower level student who gets pulled from computer class to receive addition reading instruction.
Position:
Business Teacher
Needs:
Students constantly need encouragement and enthusiasm. I am a great cheerleader for my students to finish homework assignments and to try new things. In the computer field, I have to calm fears of "breaking" things. A majority of the time, students and adults learn from mistakes. One of my jobs is to get students to overcome those fears and to avoid as many mistakes as possible in addition to learning the content of the lesson. In order to prepare the students for "life" beyond high school, I am in need of updating some the the technology in my classroom. I feel my curriculum is good but I am missing some links in order to make it very good. I feel the technology that I am asking for will not only improve my instruction but will greatly improve the learning process.
