Joyce Clark Middle School (FKA Sierra Vista Middle)
Class Information:
Room Number: 321
Students per Class: 150
Class Description:
My classroom each year has about 150 students, many from low social-economic families, military families, learning disabled, English language learners and other special ed students. With this wide range of abilities I have found that offering a variety of assessments and activities allows all my students opportunities to succeed and excel.
Position:
science teacher
My Philosophy:
Every year my goal is to offer my students the best lessons and curriculum I can, and as a science teacher offering hands-on activities, experiments and labs is paramount to a successful science classroom. I have found that because I have such an ability mixture in my mainstreamed science classroom that having a variety of assessments and several art-linked projects such as storyboards, posters, cartoon boards, alongside the more traditional science experiments, worksheets and quizzes helps my students express what they have learned in ways that allow ALL of them, no matter their disability to excel and be proud of their successes.
