My students are 8th graders in South Carolina. They attend a school of about 600 students total. We teach all three grade levels, 6, 7, and 8, at our middle school. The school facility has a great deal of technology access and is relatively new.
Overall, the students I serve have an outstanding educational experience; however, we could be doing more. Historically, because our school is so small, I have been blessed with teaching students who others have difficulty reaching: students who struggle to read, write, or comprehend academic text. I call these students my blessing because I couldn't imagine teaching any other more "advanced" group of middle schoolers. I feel compelled to offer them the best opportunities I can to increase their achievement and learning so that they can shake off the labels that have been placed on many of them.
