Never gave up.

Teaching myself before teaching my students

Condensed Units

2024-05-17 18:21:47 UTC

I taught science half of the year, so I had to condense all of the units to a quarter of the length. It was a great disservice to my students.

Never backed down

Safety for Experiments

2024-05-17 18:23:26 UTC

My students had to watch videos of experiments if they were not safe in body and mind to handle in person experiments, so they were motivated to behave in science.

A major win in the 2023-2024 school year was the effective implementation of accelerated pathways for gifted and talented students, enabling them to achieve college and career readiness standards by 10th grade. This led to heightened academic success and motivation among students.

2024-05-17 18:25:04 UTC

I almost got through the school year with great challenges dealing students.

2024-05-17 18:25:20 UTC

I was recognized as a first year teacher for being the best nutrition teacher for my students.

Supplies

2024-05-17 18:26:09 UTC

I was excited to be at a school that was willing to order all supply I needed.

The biggest challenge in the 2023-2024 school year was managing increased behavioral issues among students. Addressing these effectively required enhancing our support systems to ensure a balance between discipline and student well-being.

I struggled with getting all teachers in science lower grades to stick to curriculum teaching.

Challenges? Who? Me?

2024-05-17 18:27:58 UTC

Yeah....writing lesson plans with severe ADHD (diagnosed)

The number one thing needed to feel prepared for the 2024-2025 school year is enhanced resources for science education. This includes up-to-date laboratory equipment, modern digital tools, and access to current scientific research to enrich the curriculum and provide students with hands-on learning experiences.

I need to be more organized for the 24-25 school year. I share a classroom and have less space to work with.

Every Friday was CER day to assist the students with improving their CER writing and thinking.

Student Lack of Interes

2024-05-17 18:35:24 UTC

Many of the students are not interested in the science topics. While they enjoyed the investigations they were not interested in the topics.

All of them!

Student books! A classroom set of computers would be nice so I can go digital in my room, I know this is a long shot and school based.
