Our school is a 3-5 Elementary School. We are in a rural town with a population of about 20,000. We have about 600 students that attend our school. My classroom is a Reading/ Language Arts classroom.
Position:
Classroom Teacher
Needs:
Our community has very low parental invovlement. Less than 30% of my classroom students live with both parents. Most of them live in a home with one parent or grandparents. The needs for the students are great from basic needs of clothing, food, and school supplies to the larger needs of stability, emotion support, and goal setting. They have very minimal exposure to technology at home and they are missing out on important years to develop the technology literacy that will be required of them for their own futures.
