Final Project
The problem I run into with my students is the transient nature of our school. I did this in 3 classes totaling 50 students for 2 weeks. The results above show the only 14 students who were there for the duration of the lessons. A majority of the kids improved dramatically. I believe for some this might have been the first time they had addressed the issues in the lessons in their lives.

My Final ThoughtsMy Final ThoughtsThis project has opened my eyes to the creative thoughts of California teachers. As a trainer for this class I have been exposed to some of the most dedicated and unheralded people. I have been energized to want to make more lessons for the teachers who don’t have the opportunities I do. I have always been a technology user but having the standards to use as a model has made using the technology easier. Teaching Juvenile Hall students I have come to the realization that if I use any technology with my lessons it will have a greater impact. My students thrive on outside stimulation and that is one of the strengths of many technologies. I believe of all the CTAP and other trainings I have been involved with this is the most beneficial.
