I work at a small transfer high school in the South Bronx, which means my students did not succeed in high school the first time around. Many of my students struggle with school for reasons ranging from challenging home environments, learning challenges, to lack of motivation. The came to my school because it is a small school that does project-based learning. All students here want to finish high school but it is challenging for them.
All my students quality for free lunch. They are economically and socially disadvantaged. The teachers work at this school because they want to make a difference in the lives of these kids. Consequently, teachers work hard to make learning interesting and exciting to the students. As a science teacher, I aspire to do hands-on learning where students are having authentic science experiences.
