Newark Junior High School
*Class Information:*
Room Number: D - 3
Students per Class: 156
Class Description:
I teach 7th grade science, which is primarily Life Science or Biology by California Standards.
Position:
Science Teacher
Needs:
I seek to find new ways to engage students. I think some technological tools will be helpful in this. Right now, I use whiteboards as a way for students to share with other members of the class. This is a great way to get most students participating and working together. I think that the use of computers, video and other tools will give me more options and variety to use for engaging the students.
