Purpose of the lesson: The purpose of the AR lesson is to enhance a unit or mini-course about photosynthesis by allowing students to see what happens on a molecular level. It shows the “ingredients” that plants need in order to make their own food/energy source, which means that they are autotrophs. It shows the steps that plants go through and allows them to grasp a concept that is difficult to understand because it is impossible for them to see. This AR Jig gives students a visual representati

Distance/eLearning Data Analysis Quick Project

Prior to assigning this quick project, you need to poll the students and ask them how many hours they have worked on school work for the week. I used Google Classroom and created a question and asked the students to answer honestly. Compile the students' data in the table labeled "Number of hours spent on school work last week" on slide 2. Students create a graph (line plot is the correct graph to choose unless you have a large number of data then they can choose to make a histogram) to repres

This is a review project after students have some prior knowledge about Climate, Weather, Graphing, Animals (adaptations), and Plants (adaptations). I have most students work in pairs of two, though I have had many students do this project alone as well. Part One: Students are given one of six "mystery" climate data. The students graph the average monthly temperature change and rainfall. *PLEASE NOTE: the temperatures are in degrees Celcius and the rainfall is in mm. This is good practice fo

Experience

I have been teaching for eight years at a school in Charleston, SC. I started my career teaching 7th and 8th-grade math and now have been teaching 6th-grade math and science for seven years. I enjoy teaching both subjects during the day and correlating standards across the curriculum in all subjects.

Teaching style

* Problem-based learning is very exciting for middle school students! It gives them ownership and purpose in their learning. *Personalized Learning with differentiation is something that all teachers strive for as well as rigor. *Blended learning and with station models, digital and face-to-face, flipped classroom, and ITS programs.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I was teacher of the month for October 2014 and September 2015. I have been nominated for teacher of the year from 2013-2019. I have been in the local newspaper and on news broadcasts for a problem based project that I assigned my students. I have also received countless forms of recognition from my students, peers, and administrators throughout the years, which, in my opinion, is the highest honor of all.

My own education history

Bachelor's degree of Science in Middle-level Education with a minor in math and science from the College of Charleston. Currently obtaining a Masters in Instructional Design and Learning Technologies.
